Cherry's Index

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

Noted

Preliminary

Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 18% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

About Devoción

Community reputation · Reddit

Cult favorite· sentiment 85/100

Devoción is widely recognized as a staple in the NYC coffee scene, frequently cited as a favorite local roaster. Enthusiasts appreciate their unique cafe locations and include them in lists alongside other highly regarded roasters like SEY and Coffee Collective. While one user noted they can now pull better shots at home than the cafe, this is framed as a personal achievement rather than a critique of the roaster's quality.
