Roasts to order

Your bag is roasted after you order; expect a short delay before it ships, but it arrives as fresh as the roaster can make it.

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 18% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

Coava is widely regarded as a top-tier Portland roaster and is frequently recommended by coffee enthusiasts for their consistent quality and excellent flavor profiles. While one user reported a negative experience with a specific espresso batch, this is an outlier compared to the broader community consensus that views them as a reliable and high-quality roaster. They are often cited as a preferred alternative to larger, more corporate-feeling brands in the Pacific Northwest.
