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 59.4 shrunk to 55.4 = 55.

...ust going to copy what i posted for someone else below, maybe you have further insight. Okay, so I bought two bags of pretty fresh coffee (roasted March 24) from 49th Parallel.

For the darker roasts, I 88° and a grind setting of 15 on my Virtuoso works well. For their single origin Ethiopia, I us
