At 340 g, this bag runs about 2% less per ounce than a typical 287 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.
Cherrybook Index (CBI)

46
Preliminary
Confidence2 of 7 signals on file
Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50; read directionally until more source families land.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 25% 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 38% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 51.0 shrunk to 50.6 + bonuses = 46.

RFINE Biomass Solutions & Java Blend Coffee: Redefining Sustainability in the Roasting Process
Canadian Food Innovation Network
Watch on YouTubeThis video covers Java Blend Coffee Roasters; it is general roaster coverage.
Cherrybook summary of the video
This video profiles a partnership between Java Blend Coffee Roasters and Refine Biomass Solutions to tackle the challenge of coffee chaff waste. By converting this byproduct into high-value food ingredients like a cocoa extender, Java Blend highlights how sustainability can also create new revenue streams. The collaboration is supported by the Canadian Food Innovation Network, enabling the roastery to incorporate circular economy principles directly into their operations.
Inside this video
From Canadian Food Innovation Network:
“We developed technology and processes to turn this raw material into high-value food ingredients like our Cafika cocoa extender.”
“Without non-dilutive funding and grants that they have provided us, it would be really challenging to develop technology.”
“Refine has made it very very easy for us to do this. We think that it's going to make all of our lives much easier.”
