Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

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 60.8 shrunk to 56.2 + bonuses = 57.

Two independent Reddit threads give Counter Culture a mixed picture. One discussion treated its commercial roast quality as worth the price but also reported poor or boring bags; another used its roasting and profiling as a high-end benchmark.

...coffee habit. I've been looking at the Behmor 1600 Plus. Basically, I want to know if I will be able to get roasts as good as what I currently buy from places like Verve, Counter Culture, and Intelligentsia. If I will never get roasts as good as these, then I'd prefer to just continue buying pre-roasted beans. The q

...n fact, for being a first time roaster, everything has been really good! I am coming from drinking higher tier roasted coffee such as Onyx Coffee Labs, and Counter Culture, both who use high end roasters, profile for days, and get the perfect roast out of everything they sell. Compare that to me, using an SR540, wit
