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.

Some listing details are missing or have limited model coverage, so the typical band shown is wider than usual.

Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

45

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 45.6 shrunk to 47.5 + bonuses = 45.

One Reddit post seeking heavier roasts says, for context, that its author also likes Colectivo and Intelligentsia. In another thread, a commenter recommends Colectivo's regular coffee over Blue Heeler and says Dark Sumatra was not as good as the regular coffee in their experience and from what they had heard.

    Please don't burn me at the steam wand... I like that sorta burnt taste Starbucks provides. Are there any new/hip/high quality roasters doing "heavier" roasts like this? For context, I also really like Colectivo and Intelligentsia. Thanks!

  • r/Coffee · 10↑ · Which Sumatra to Buy?

    If you decide on the Colectivo, I'd say go for the regular instead of Blue Heeler. Their Dark Sumatra is, while not terrible, not as good as their regular from what I've had and heard. I know you'd like a little more info on where it's from (and if I remember right, the bag might have some more detailed info) but unles
