Usually 5 lbs for the free shipping. Divide into 12 oz mason jars and freeze at -20C in non self defrosting freezer.
Beans are OK up to 8 weeks.
Will buy 12 oz for something not tried before.

5lbs of Decaf (I get a massive discount at this size) ~$80 vs $20 for 12 oz

12 ounce for Caf as I want the freshest for this flavor

5 Lbs of my Daily Driver every 4 weeks.
Typically 2 Lb of something different that I want to try. I do not like 12 oz packages because they are uneconomical and they are too small to experiment with.

12 oz is my preference since I'm always trying new coffees and this now appears to be the default Small size for the majority of roasters I use. I also do my own roasting - 500gm at a time from Hacea

250g for filter, 1lb for espresso.

5 lbs because of the price, but allows me to share with all my friends and family.

I like 2lb for blends I'll make milk based drinks with and 1lb for the single origin that I am drinking straight. I have bought 5lb bags before and had to use 2 airscape containers to store them, that was a blend.

I try to go for roasters that sell the full pound.
