53
Sparse signal
Confidence1 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 5% 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 88% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 75.0 shrunk to 53.1 = 53.

One thread author questions whether high variation in size and color is normal for single origin beans after purchasing Escape Coffee's Candy Floss from Guatemala. Another thread discusses an unsealed bag received from an unspecified roaster, though that thread does not name Escape Coffee Company.

- r/pourover · 31↑ · Bag Arrived Unsealed. No Response from Roaster. What to Do?
…by this sub. When it arrived, the heat seal on the bag was incomplete, allowing air in and out of the bag. The gap in the seal is large enough for beans to escape (though they did not). I contacted customer service and got a response the next day, asking for pictures. I responded to their response, including pictures.
- r/pourover · 21↑ · Is it normal for single origin (single variety) beans to vary this much in size and colour
These are beans from Escape Coffee’s [Candy Floss](https://escape.cafe/products/candy-floss): * Country: Guatemala * Region: Chingo Volcanic Region * Washing Station: Gualvador Estate, Jaime Rios Canana * Process: Winey * Varieties: Pacas * Altitude: 1700 m I’m not an expert on green coffee beans or beans sourcing, but
