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 87.5 shrunk to 71.6 + bonuses = 75.

- r/Coffee · 129↑ · Did Corvus ruin me?
I too don't like spending $30+ on coffee every week and have found that Dead Reckoning from corvus is a great cheaper bag. It's a blend with natural Ethiopian in the mix which really shines through. I used to get their natural African du jour but this is just consistently good.
- r/Coffee · 27↑ · Problems with lightly-roasted espresso?
...lling longer and higher yield should help dial in. What machine are you using, might need to go up in temp, I've gone to 205 on lighter roast. Fwiw I've been to Corvus and like their coffee, I wouldn't say their as light as others, I had some great espresso and drinks there. If your in Denver near them, try their ni

Cherrybook summary of the video
A tour of Corvus Coffee Roasters in Denver, Colorado, led by Nolan. The video highlights their single-person production stations, custom nitrogen flushing packaging system, rigorous QC/cupping lab, and long-standing producer relationships spanning over a decade.
Inside this video
From Roaster Kat:
“We're trying to push out the freshness concept a little further, and just stored in a bag one month is like where it's really starting to be the best.”
“We're relationship driven by far. Some of our longest-standing relationships now are going on 15 years.”
“The sample roast should give you an idea of what flavors are in the coffee, and then you need to conceptualize that to how your roaster performs.”
