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. 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.

About Dukes Coffee Roasters
Community reputation · Reddit
Well-regarded· sentiment 72/100
Dukes Coffee Roasters is recognized as a notable Australian specialty roaster, though community opinions on their current form are mixed. While one user noted they used to love Dukes but had a less satisfying experience with imported beans, others pointed out that their city location can be hit-or-miss and prone to tourist crowds. However, their international shipping promotions (such as free international shipping to the US and Asia) draw positive attention and interest from overseas coffee enthusiasts.
