At 249 g, this bag runs about 2% 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.
Some listing details are missing or have limited model coverage, so the typical band shown is wider than usual.

Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
63
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 63.8 shrunk to 61.4 + bonuses = 63.

About ReAnimator Coffee
Community reputation · Reddit
Mixed reviews· sentiment 60/100
Two Reddit threads give a mixed view of ReAnimator Coffee. A Philadelphia commenter called ReAnimator one of their favorite roasters, highly recommended it, and expected the company to answer sourcing questions. In a separate thread, a brewer described a ReAnimator Yirgacheffe as underwhelming after several V60 attempts, finding chocolate but not the fruit notes they wanted.

...ly, so I'm willing to swing it. However, how much of this actually goes back to the farmers vs the roaster just making big profits. For instance, I was looking at ReAnimator Coffee and they have 10oz bags for $21. Currently, I buy a pound for $16 from my local roaster. Can anyone with knowledge in the industry give

I got a Yirgacheffe from Reanimator Coffee the other day and have really been struggling to get the fruity notes I’m looking for out of it. I’ve tried a coarse grind with temperatures around 200-205 along with a more medium/fine grind with temperatures around 190. Both times I have gotten pretty well extracted cups, bu
