Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
59
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 62.2 shrunk to 57.0 + bonuses = 59.

Proud mary!! Used to love dukes but wasn't happy when i imported their latest beans. Bbb and 7seeds was good but never got any mindblowing cup from them
- r/Coffee · 5↑ · Dukes Coffee Roasters (Australia) - free int'l coffee shipping to the US and Asian countri
Free shipping (seemingly with no minimums) internationally. Dukes is one of my favourite roasters in Australia (one of the top 10 in an awesome playing field), and well-known in the local market. With the low Australian dollar this is an excellent chance to test something new and interesting.
