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.

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.
