At 1000 g, this bag runs about 12% less 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.

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 80.5 shrunk to 67.5 + bonuses = 68.

Well-regarded· sentiment 82/100

Two Reddit threads give Rogue Wave Coffee strongly favorable marks for its coffee. In one, a commenter called a Rogue Wave Clearpath coffee really good and described the coffee under discussion as one of the better ones for them. In the other, a poster rated Rogue Wave 10/10, recommended it, and said the roaster's regularly priced beans were always freshly roasted and tasted great, while questioning the price of smaller, more expensive bags.

    I figured I couldn't have been the only one to experience the shipping delays/re-routes! Shipping within the US has gotten a bit weird, too. Yes, it's one of the better ones for me, too. I had another of the Rogue Wave Clearpath Coffees (El Mirador) and it was really good, too, but not as intense as this one.

  • r/Coffee · 4↑ · Variance of bean prices

    ...for less than half the amount? I wonder if there is a significant difference in these beans or maybe they are just tougher to come by/import. Has anybody tried beans with this price and was it worth it? If anyone is curious, I’m referring to Rogue Wave Coffee in Edmonton. They are 10/10 in my opinion, would recommen
