Noted
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 73.6 shrunk to 63.6 + bonuses = 66.

Two independent Reddit threads give Bonanza Coffee a favorable but measured picture. One contributor included it among roasters they normally like, while another said roaster-made cups were amazing but struggled to reproduce those flavors at home.

...cafe’s themselves. I use a 1zpresso jx pro, the 4:6 method, and since I live in the Netherlands, I have good water quality. The coffees I got where from bonanza, the barn, fuku etc. so not bad roasters either. Is it due to my grinder? I tried other sources of water aswell, but that doesn’t seem to be making the diff
