Roasts to order
Your bag is roasted after you order; expect a short delay before it ships, but it arrives as fresh as the roaster can make it.

At 340 g, this bag runs about 2% less per ounce than a typical 288 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 55.4 shrunk to 53.1 + bonuses = 51.

One thread author reports using Partners Brooklyn blend beans for pourover over a three-year period, describing the cup as rich, round, almost chocolatey, with zero acidity and no bitterness, though noting a recent negative change in the coffee. Another commenter gives Partners a thumbs down in comparison to other coffee experiences. Two other threads mention the roaster solely in catalog or database project listings.

My wife and I found our pourover sweet spot making Partners Brooklyn blend beans, ground with a Barzata Encore grinder, and poured using a ceramic Hario V60 and pre-wet paper filters. We’ve always used tap water, and it’s always been more than fine. We’ve used this setup for the past 3 years, occasionally straying from

…time I tried Forum's Yirgacheffe it blew my mind, second time not so much (I think the barista was the issue). Black River was fine, nothing special (Guatemala Guaya'b), Queen City was solid (Yirgacheffe). Tend to like fruitier, lighter roasts. I've also tried Coffee Project in NYC (amazing) and Partners (thumbs down)

Inside this video
From Cheddar:
“We started roasting coffee in 2012 out of our original cafe and roastery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.”
“We want people to be in our cafes, sit down, have long conversations. I think sometimes with Starbucks it can feel very transactional.”
