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 83.5 shrunk to 69.3 + bonuses = 71.

...erience with GoCoffeeGo.com, because things went from really bad to pretty awesome in no time. Basically, I signed up for recurring shipments of a specific kind of coffee (Barefoot's Redcab - I freaking love it, but that's not the point here). It turns out that my order from the week of Oct 5th never showed up. Now,

Any good recommendations? Have tried Verve (street level), Blue Bottle(Hayes Valley), and Voyager(cascade blend) and I liked Verve the most. I have tried Barefoot and I love their coffee but have never bought their beans. Any other recommendations?
