Doram SurreyAlan At the current rate of shrinkflation it won’t be long before they sell empty packages and ask us to fill them with product at home and return full to the shop.

Dusk 227g has been fairly standard in supermarkets for a long time, must be a the equivalent of an imperial weight
MWJB Union have been selling in 200g packs for years, quite a few other roasters followed suit. 227g seems mostly available in supermarket coffee specifically. I don’t make/drink as much as I used to, so often buy in 150g, but spend a bit more, they do me for a week.
DavecUK Dusk It depends on the context. I know what a pint is and what to expect…clueless about beer in ml I know what ml of espresso shots are, clueless in fl Oz I understand mph but am used to seeing a litre price for petrol. Sometimes still convert in my mind. I know how hot 70, 80, 90F is etc. But for cold I understand only in C. Oven temps only C as well I understand my weight in stones, not Kg I understan clothes sizes in inches not metric I understand distances and heights in ft I prefer metric in tools and engineering. Lifes odd isn’t it 😁
stox Meanwhile Cast Iron (one of my favourite roasters) sell 334g bags - the only roaster I know of that does this. It makes the bag price look slightly expensive until you work out the equivalent per KG, at which point it looks like good value. They obviously sell to a more intelligent type of customer 😇
