At 200 g, this bag runs about 5% more per ounce than a typical 306 g bag; that is pack size, not the coffee.

How this estimate works

A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with these listed attributes typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock listing in the comparison group, with at least 15 listings from three roasters and no roaster supplying more than 60% of it. Decaf, blends, variety segments, processing families and bag formats stay separate. Origin, roast and selling currency can broaden as the group label indicates. Prices are converted to USD per ounce; shipping and differences in tax treatment are not adjusted. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.

Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

50

Sparse signal

Confidence1 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 18% 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 55% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

One thread author describes Coffee Libre as internationally known and among the earliest in Korea, but finds their coffees overdeveloped for a light roast preference. Another commenter mentions having enjoyed coffees from Coffee Libre in Korea previously, while distinguishing them from a US roaster named Libre. A third commenter mentions having tried a washed decaf Gesha roasted by Coffee Libre in Korea.

    …ral (a good issue - and if medium or dark is your thing then you can for sure find many examples). The internationally known ones like Fritz, Coffee Libre and Anthracite are ok - they are over developed for my taste. They were some of the earliest in Korea so I guess that’s where the reputation comes from (anthracite

    …pecialty roasters! Natural pink bourbon from Wbeimar Lasso and Juliana Guevara’s Finca La Terraza, roasted by Libre (USA). This roaster shouldn’t be confused with Coffee Libre in Korea (who I have also enjoyed coffees from before). The roaster’s advertised notes seem to me pretty spot on - a dessert cocktail that’s bo

    …Pablo Andres Guerrero of Hacienda El Obraje in Colombia, roasted by Luminous (USA). This is my second decaf Gesha (the other was also washed, but roasted by Coffee Libre in Korea). While Gesha is my favourite coffee variety, I’m not sure if the nuances survive the decaffeination process well. I wasn’t able to get the…
