Why 12 ounce bags of coffee instead of one pound? (lemm.ee)

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.

My local roaster weighs out a pound for ya before grinding.

I think it's shrinkflation if you're getting 12oz vs a pound for the same price as before

Because these companies are full of spineless people who just do what they’re told.
