Noted
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 81.6 shrunk to 68.2 = 68.

- r/Coffee · 25↑ · Why is the V60 so good (vs Chemex)?
...ntly been having issues with getting a Chemex brew to extract evenly, no matter what I did it just wouldn't extract properly. I was at a brew class on Saturday past at 3FE (www.3fe.com - a wonderful cafe/roastery in Dublin, Ireland), and one of the brew methods we learnt was the V60. I've had a V60 for a year since

Inside this video
From The People We Meet:
“I think we often get labeled as like a hipster cafe, but like you come in here any day of the week and it's young parents from Hallow Street and it's the suits from Nama and the tech bros from Stripe and everyone in between.”
“People are definitely drawn to the business because of the people that work here. And they're amazing.”
“It's not always about numbers and you know, sexy machines and stuff like that. It's, it's the people, like 100% of the time.”
