Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

59

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 64.8 shrunk to 58.5 = 59.

Community reputation · Reddit

Mixed reviews· sentiment 62/100

Two independent Reddit threads provide limited, mixed evidence for Caffe Vita. One commenter called Caffe Vita a favorite and reported that a French-press cup of Caffe Luna was very tasty. In another thread, the poster said Caffe Vita's Guatemalan FNV did not appeal to their partner, whose preferences lean toward Starbucks-style darker coffee.
