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

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 43% 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 0% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

Two Reddit posters describe positive experiences with Cuvee Coffee. One says Laguna Las Ranas made a good, full-bodied cup even in a drip machine and was eager to open another Cuvee bag. Another calls Cuvee amazing and says its local availability was one reason they wanted a subscription featuring roasters they could not buy nearby.

    So I was in Texas last week and picked up some Cuvee *Laguna Lasranas* beans, and holy cow do they make for a good cup of coffee, even in a drip machine.
