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 49.8 shrunk to 49.9 + bonuses = 53.

Three independent Reddit comments give Klatch Coffee a largely critical, product-specific picture. One brewer found a Panama coffee mildly fruity rather than the expected fruit bomb on its first pull. A self-described Klatch enthusiast called one blend a simple dark roast with no complexity and the roaster's worst blend. Another commenter said the Klatch coffees they had tried were barely acceptable.

I didn't get the "fruit bomb" with my initial pull of the Panama by Klatch. It was mildly fruity. I will let you know if that changes as I try it more.

I'm a klatch enthusiast and IMO this is their worst blend. I just tried it last week actually. There's nothing complex about it. Just dark roast coffee.
- r/Coffee · 15↑ · Klatch Coffee in San Fran is selling a $75 cup of coffee - It's a Panamanian.
Some people have more $ than sense, lmao... no coffee in this world is worth that. Hell I wouldn't pay $20 for a pound of any coffee, let along idiotic prices such as that. Klatch coffees I have had were barely OK anyway.
