At 200 g, this bag runs about 5% more 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.

Noted
Preliminary
Confidence3 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 33% 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 18% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 77.2 shrunk to 72.5 + bonuses = 74.

Three Reddit comments give a mixed-to-positive view of La Cabra. One regular said the coffees were generally wonderful, though some naturals were intense, and reported good results at home. A Santa Rosa taster described a subtle, fresh, tasty cup with sweetness and body. A separate advent-calendar taster found one La Cabra coffee flat and grassy.

I have gone to that La Cabra every week since it opened. The coffees have generally been wonderful, although sometimes the naturals are pretty intense. Their coffee development process involves resting the coffee for a long time, much longer than most roasters. I have used their beans at home with good results. If you’

I’m brewing the Santa Rosa right now. Pretty coffee. Fairly subtle like many La Cabra washed but very fresh and tasty. I get a really nice body and sweetness from a high extraction V60 recipe.

Maybe we can make a linked thread with all the days and coffees? I tried the La Cabra and was disappointed. It was flat and grassy. You made a good decision to wait.
