Price and availability set by the roaster.

Batch roasted weekly · ships in ~2d

Roasted on a scheduled weekly rhythm. Very fresh if you order right after a roast day; less so near the end of the cycle.

“We roast three days a week. Orders placed later in the week may be subject to a short delay due to low inventory and will be roasted the following Monday.” source ↗

Confident

Enough independent signal to score at face value; no shrinkage applied.

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 0% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
