Cherrybook Index (CBI)

Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

52

Sparse signal

Confidence2 of 7 signals on file

Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 23% of the signal universe on file. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 53.3 shrunk to 51.9 = 52.

One thread author reports finding a great decaf on the 19grams website, describing it as a light to medium roast with complex, pleasant fruit notes and an orange peel-like aftertaste. Another thread author describes the 19grams advent calendar coffees as boring, noting that they tasted like chocolate, grass, and fermentation, lacked variation, and were easy to overextract with a bitter aftertaste.
