Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 18% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

About Alchemist Coffee
Community reputation · Reddit
Well-regarded· sentiment 70/100
Reddit mentions of the name 'Alchemist' are mostly ambiguous, referring either to a local shop in Denver (Alchemist), a roaster from Singapore (Alchemist Coffee), or specific beans named 'The Alchemist' by European roasters like DAK. Due to the lack of dedicated discussion about a standalone roaster named Alchemist Coffee, sentiment defaults to neutral-positive based on passing mentions.
