At 400 g, this bag runs about 3% less per ounce than a typical 308 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 this exact profile 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 lot in the comparison class, so it moves as the catalog does. 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.

Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
65
Noted
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 76.7 shrunk to 65.4 = 65.

About Square Mile Coffee Roasters
Community reputation · Reddit
Well-regarded· sentiment 80/100
Square Mile Coffee Roasters is well-regarded and frequently referenced in UK and international specialty coffee discussions. Users commonly cite their brewing guides (such as recommendations for the Clever Dripper and Hario Switch) as reliable standards, and they are recognized as a staple UK roaster. While one user questioned the value and profile excitement relative to price, and another struggled to dial in a gifted bag, the overall sentiment remains positive as a prominent and respected name in the specialty scene, partly owing to co-founder James Hoffmann's industry presence.
