Noted
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 91.0 shrunk to 73.5 + bonuses = 74.

I don't know if they have opened yet but if there is an amor perfecto, labritorio de cafe or mikaela they are wonderful. Also anywhere that stocks almendra selectra I couldn't recommend higher.
