Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

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 52.2 shrunk to 51.3 + bonuses = 53.

Saw a bag of Backyard Beans Equilibrium Half Decaf and have been using it for my afternoon and sometimes late morning brews. It’s a bit dark for my taste but not bad at all. Was wondering if anyone had encountered other roasters who do this. Of course I guess I could just find a good decaf and mix a few regular beans i

…c blueberry bomb, but also really like strawberry for a similar style coffee but a different lead note. Also not looking to completely break the bank here, let's cap the budget at $30/12oz. Any recs? Looking at backyard beans right now, they have Ethiopian, Costa Rica, and Honduran naturals that all look solid. Thanks
