66
Sparse signal
Confidence1 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 18% 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 55% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 85.0 shrunk to 65.8 = 66.

Cult favorite· sentiment 85/100
Two Reddit commenters describe strongly positive experiences with 94 Celcius. One says the roaster pairs experimental selections with origin character and balance, and counts several recent releases among their favorites of the year. Another says they buy regularly, praises the roaster for continuing to buy from producer partners through difficult harvests, and describes a generally light, fruit- and floral-forward style that works for both manual brewing and espresso.

I've been really impressed with 94 Celcius lately. They seem to do a great job selecting more experimental coffees while still keeping a sense of origin and balance in the cup. Some of their recent releases have been among my favorite coffees this year. The process of ordering on Eightounce was worth it ?

Ben, en partant ce que j'aime de 94 Celcius, c'est qu'ils ont des partenaires qu'ils ne lâchent pas. Malgré une température moins propice à de meilleures récoltes ou une catastrophe naturelle, ils continuent d'acheter des lots de ces producteurs quand même, et ils réussissent à torréfier quelque chose qui demeure dans.
