Confident

Confidence3 of 7 signals on file

Enough independent signal to score at face value; no shrinkage applied.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 48% 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 0% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

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.
