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 78.8 shrunk to 66.5 + bonuses = 64.

Favourite Norwegians are definitely Tim Wendelboe Jacu Kaffa Kokko But also heard great things about Fuglen Solberg & Hansen (who Tim used to roast for many years ago)
- r/pourover · 13↑ · Buying my first Tim Wendelboe, which of these would you recommend?
If you're interested in getting a sense of the "Tim Wendelboe" style, I would not recommend the Honey processed coffee. TW is known for *washed* coffees. When they do offer a honey or natural coffee, it's quite clean, but still, those processes aren't really what they're known for. (that said you can't go wrong--these.
