55
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.
The math on file: renormalized base 60.0 shrunk to 54.5 = 55.

One Reddit commenter says Nespresso's convenience is hard to overstate and that quality is great with capsules such as Colonna. In a separate post seeking UK-based roasters, the author lists Colonna among roasters they are a big fan of.

It’s hard to overstate the convenience factor of Nespresso, and the quality is great with capsules like Colonna.
- r/pourover · 3↑ · Best UK based roasters?
I’m looking for some new UK based roasters. I’m a big fan of Roundhill, Colonna, Workshop, Assembly etc and have tried quite a few such as Darks Arts, Sq Mile, Origin which are okay. I’m wondering what some of peoples favourite coffee’s have been recently from the UK?
