It doesn't say in oz or grams how much coffee you are actually getting. From some rough math I would have to guess it is about 6oz. For $15 that seems really expensive even when compared to craft coffee (tonx/toby's estate) which is around $19 (shipping included) for 12oz bag.

Yeah I just contributed to the indiegogo but before hand I send them an email on price here is the response I got to paraphrase.

"It is 15 dollars including shipping and in terms of quantity it is 10 oz" Pretty good deal considering that they are doing interesting things with content that directly connect you to the farm and culture...

How are you "directly connected to the farm and culture"? If you are like most people, you brew your coffee and go on with your morning.
Hey - we send you very small snippets of content everyday through email/app about that Coffee. So as you enjoy your cup everyday - you get a learn a little bit about what made all of it possible.
Ya, Moustache Coffee Club will ship 12oz of Intelligentsia or Handsome coffee to to you for 16.99. They are regarded by a lot of people as some of the best roasters in the world. Why would I pay $15 for a 6oz bag?
coffeebeandirect will sell you Indian Monsooned Malabar for $39.75 for five pounds of whole beans. I've bought this; it's tasty. At 7.95/lb, it's about the same price as random Colombian at the supermarket.
It is about creating an amazing experience around enjoying your Indian Monsooned Malabar Coffee everyday - learning something new about that region. We agree, cost is something that we are focused on bringing down - with scale & time - this is definitely possible.
5 pounds of coffee, when was it roasted? And will you be drinking it within 7 days of then? This relationship is at least as important as the quality of the original bean.
