How Coffee Beans pricing is compared on Dealophant

Listings are ranked by price per unit. Marketing terms like "double roll", "mega pack", or "family size" are unwound — what matters is the actual unit count, which Dealophant extracts from the product title.

We calculate cost per ounce, normalizing across 12-oz bags, 2-lb bags, 5-lb commercial bags, and everything in between.

Each listing's total Amazon price is divided by the unit count extracted from the product title and (where available) cross-checked against Amazon's own price.pricePerUnit field. The result is a single live price-per-unit number that's directly comparable across every brand and pack size in the category. The lowest price per unit earns the "Best Value" badge.
