If you buy a pound of coffee in bag what is the tare?

The "tare" in this context refers to the weight of the empty coffee bag.

Here's how it works:

* Gross weight: The total weight of the coffee bag, including the coffee beans and the bag itself.

* Net weight: The weight of the coffee beans only.

* Tare weight: The weight of the empty coffee bag.

You can calculate the net weight of the coffee beans by subtracting the tare weight from the gross weight:

Net weight = Gross weight - Tare weight

The tare weight is usually printed on the coffee bag, often near the net weight.
