Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

Preliminary
Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals
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.

Outside coverage portrays Anchorhead Coffee as a gritty and unconventional success story, born from the garage experiments of two former audio engineers. Reviewers and interviewers highlight their unique, dark, and moody cafe atmospheres that fit the Seattle aesthetic. Coverage also notes their strong emphasis on natural processed coffees and a roasting philosophy focused on clarity rather than heavy roast characteristics.
