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.

Don’t forget sports drinks. Used to be I could buy a gatorade then have a 1 liter bottle I could use to track my water intake. Now it’s 28 ounces and I need a nalgene bottle to track what I drink.

(I have no sense of thirst so being able to count liters is very handy)
