Cherrybook Index (CBI)

Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

53

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 54.4 shrunk to 52.5 = 53.

One thread author reports that they did not really like Alchemist. Another thread author reports stopping at Alchemist in Asakusa for an Ethiopia, describing it as good coffee that was doomed to fail compared to a previous one, and adding that they like the coffee shop while finding it a bit too clean.

    …side-by-side at about 6 EUR each, Origami (since my family just broke mine), and a bunch of different Cafec filters. After that, on my way to the train I stopped at Alchemist (Asakusa). Another Ethiopia. Good coffee, but it was doomed to fail compared to the previous one. I like the coffee shop. Again, a bit too “clea
