Coffee

Hey, that’s not fair! OP could also be from Myanmar or Liberia.

But, for those not in Myanmar, Liberia, or USA: the reason this seems to be an issue is that a pound is apparently 16oz (not 12).

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.

Gee, maybe, just maybe, you could understand that people will default to using what they know and what is common to them, instead of thinking it's some attack on the rest of the world. I'm an American and I certainly wouldn't hold it against anyone from the rest of the world coming in and using metric because I realize other places use other measurements. I'm also quite capable of converting between other measurements. Hell, you used more energy to bitch about it than it would have taken to google it.

Sad that there’s simply no easy way to do the conversion math!

I'm curious. What size bag is standard for specialty coffee in your neck of the woods? I can think of several reasonable sizes (250 g, 330 g, and 500 g) but haven't the foggiest which or if it might be some idiosyncratic number arising from some tradition or other.
