Preliminary

Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 18% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

Alchemy is consistently recognized as a high-quality roaster, with users in Sydney specifically citing their cafe as a benchmark for barista skill. The name also appears in discussions regarding premium roasters like George Howell and as a recommended destination in travel guides for cities like Cork and Berkeley. While the term "alchemy" is sometimes used in coffee to describe experimental processing methods or general brewing techniques, the roaster itself maintains a strong, positive reputation among enthusiasts.
