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.

I’m sorry if my post or question offended you. I’d be appreciative of any constructive feedback but I was simply asking a question about my experiences where I’m from in the measurements used here.

I did read the sidebar and look for any rules before posting, I was simply looking to a hobbyist community whose members likely know a lot about the topic.

Na, not offended, just amused. It would be nice though to provide some context on which region of the world your question applies to. Also, not everyone knows that a pound would be 16 ounces not 12.

I appreciate the feedback. I didn’t see location callouts common in other posts and kind of assumed based on measurements and the shoutout to a coffe shop in SC that it would be clear I was talking US but I shouldn’t assume. I’ll try to be more cognizant of that. Thank you!
