Enough independent signal to score at face value; no shrinkage applied.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 48% 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 0% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

Coffea Circulor is mentioned among European roasters known for price transparency such as publishing FOB or farm gate prices, and is referenced by a poster as a roaster they have a penchant for. Another thread author questions whether the roaster adds artificial flavoring extracts, noting that an Ethiopia washed process smelled strongly of nougat and a Kenyan natural had a rose-like perfumy quality that felt artificial, with the flavors noted on the exterior of the beans rather than inside.
