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 75.0 shrunk to 64.4 = 64.

I am trying to dial in this new coffee from Black & White and typically, I’m able to find a good balance of sweetness with acidity in their coffee in a couple cups but this new one is tricky! It was so sour at first that I started at a 56 on my DF64 Gen 2 and ended all the way into the middle of the Moka pot settings t

I cracked open a bag of The Future - Mai Tai from Black & White, and even just off the roast date, it's so good. I've brewed it a few times now and it seems to favor a longer brew period than a shorter one. Grinding the coffee at 14 on my Baratza Encore yields a drain time of 3:00-3:30. It starts off with a slight bitt
