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 57.2 shrunk to 54.1 = 54.

I buy 49th Parallel as well and I’m currently on a bag of their Ethiopian. I find their dark roasts such as French and really light roasts like their single origins require very different treatment . For the darker roasts, I 88° and a grind setting of 15 on my Virtuoso works well. For their single origin Ethiopia, I us
