54
Sparse signal
Confidence1 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 5% 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 88% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 80.0 shrunk to 53.8 = 54.

Another commenter describes a two-pound bag of Duomo medium dark roast purchased at Costco as disappointing and kind of boring, though not terrible.

I got a two pound bag of Black Oak Roasters Duomo medium dark roast at Costco. It's disappointing. Not terrible, just kind of boring. I'll drink my way through it eventually, but I'm bummed to have bought such a large bag.
