Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals
Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land.
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 18% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

A vertical sidebar of brew icons that organizes technical data
The label uses a clean grid to organize technical data, but the standout is the vertical sidebar. It houses four simple line-art icons for brew methods, stacked neatly to save space. It turns a standard information block into a functional, readable chart.
