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.

Cherrybook Index (CBI)
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
67
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 37% 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 7% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 71.3 shrunk to 69.8 + bonuses = 67.

Cherrybook summary of the video
Derek Henderson of Speedwell Coffee in Plymouth, Massachusetts, demonstrates their small-batch fluid-bed roasting process. He explains the mechanics of fluid-bed roasting, where heat and air movement drive the roast rather than a turning metal drum.
Inside this video
From wl plymouth:
“We're a small batch specialty roaster.”
“The fluid bed roaster as opposed to a drum roaster... this moves because we're forcing air through the roaster.”
