At 454 g, this bag runs about 4% less per ounce than a typical 306 g bag; that is pack size, not the coffee.
How this estimate works
A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with these listed attributes typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock listing in the comparison group, with at least 15 listings from three roasters and no roaster supplying more than 60% of it. Decaf, blends, variety segments, processing families and bag formats stay separate. Origin, roast and selling currency can broaden as the group label indicates. Prices are converted to USD per ounce; shipping and differences in tax treatment are not adjusted. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.

Sparse signal
Confidence2 of 7 signals on file
Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 23% of the signal universe on file. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 51.5 shrunk to 50.9 + bonuses = 48.

About French Truck Coffee
Community reputation · Reddit
Polarizing· sentiment 45/100
One Reddit post describes French Truck as decidedly average and its cold brew as pretty tasty. In another thread, a commenter says the coffee had always tasted too sour to them. A third thread includes a comment that a normal shot lacked much taste but was pretty good as a sugar-free vanilla latte.

Guatemala Huehuetenango by French Truck Coffee Well when I turned it into a sugar free vanilla latte it tasted pretty good. A normal shot didn’t have a ton of taste.
