At 340 g, this bag runs about 2% less per ounce than a typical 287 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.

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 84.6 shrunk to 69.9 + bonuses = 73.

I've used it to great success before, but I was surprised at how poorly my coffee tasted when using it for my new beans. I have a bag of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from Sightglass, and I attempted to dial in using Hoffman's V60 method and adjusting grind size. My coffee was bitter and harsh on first sips no matter what grin

Cherrybook summary of the video
Fellow chats with Brian from Sightglass Coffee about their flagship SOMA location in San Francisco, their sourcing roots in Honduras with producers like Giovanni Baide and David Muñoz, and how their coffees are roasted and brewed.
Inside this video
From Fellow:
“Sightglass we were born here in SOMA on 7th and Folsom. ... back in 2009 is when we first opened up our doors.”
“the idea behind that space was to kind of create a Willy Wonka factory so that folks could come in and they could see everything, every part of the process.”
