From the editors

This lot is no longer available at the roaster.

We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 2 days ago. It now returns a not-found or members-only response, so we’ve archived the buy link rather than send anyone to a dead page. The notes, sensory chart, and editorial context below remain useful as a record of what this lot offered.

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 66.4 shrunk to 59.4 + bonuses = 60.

Four independent Reddit threads give Airship Coffee a mixed but generally favorable picture. One commenter said they love Airship, visit its cafes regularly, and use Black Apple as their main home espresso; another reordered two kilograms after an earlier bag became their favorite. A sugar-cane decaf was judged okay, especially for decaf, but did not bloom. A regular Airship buyer said Kochere smelled great yet tasted beefy and overly beany from a moka pot, while questioning whether technique or the coffee caused it.

    So I was recently prescribed Adderall and told to cut out caffeine... yay me. I bought a bag of Airship's sugar cane decaf and while its okay, especially for decaf, I noticed it doesn't bloom at all. I got it through Trade so I know it was roasted recently. Its whole bean and I'm grinding it myself. Is this typical for

    I usually get the Airship brand and last week they were out of my favorite bean so I grabbed their Ethiopian - Kochere. It smells great! However when I made one in my Moka pot it tasted beefy and overly beany. Maybe it's lack of experience using a Moka pot. Or maybe it's country of origin or whatever the heck kochere i

  • r/espresso · 33↑ · 2kg Bag Arrived from Airship!

    I had a small 8oz bag before I got from Trade Coffee and of all the beans I've tried this was my favorite. Decided to order a 2kg direct from Airship (they have a crazy good discount if you follow their socials).
