Getting shorted 4oz.

by admin on June 7th, 2009

I’ve noticed a new trend recently that I’m not pleased about. Why is it that if I buy a bag of beans from a local cafe or store, the good stuff is sold in 12oz bags instead of a true 1lb. bag? I’m paying on average $13/12oz. That’s 4oz (120grams) less which means that if I dose at say ~ 20grams/double, I’m getting shorted 6 less doubles from a bag. What gives? If I order it directly from the roaster, I get a full 16oz bag, but then I have to pay shipping costs AND wait for it to arrive, so in the end, it’s more economical to get it from the cafe. BUT, if you drink as much coffee as we do in my househould, then it means we’re blowing through a 12oz bag in under a week. Maybe I should start a petition to bring back the 16oz bags in the local cafes.  :) Don’t pinch from my bag! I guess it’s not all bad though. I enjoy visiting local cafe’s and having shots pulled from a La Marzocco instead of my X5.
