Pretty much the title. I’ve noticed lately that more independent and non-grocery roasters will have 12 ounce bags instead of one pound.

Is there a special reason for this beyond, I assume, bringing the price of more gourmet-ish coffee to a price point comfortable for the average consumer?

Also, shout out to King Bean in South Carolina, I love their Capers Blend.

    MANY products have seen slow shrinkage over the last decade. 16>13 oz. chip bags, 13 cookies instead 16 … That candy bar that used to be 3" across is now 2.5 " across? Result: 2/3 of the surface area = 50% more profit. The price stays the same and they hope you don’t notice how much less you’re getting. Another side of this is the drop in the quality of ingredients.
