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 55.4 shrunk to 53.1 = 53.

…translation from the zp6. I tend to go on the finer side, about 4.4-4.7 for true ultralight coffee and more in the 5.0-5.4 range for Nordic coffee like Sey and Flower Child. I generally only drink washed coffee. A lot of Ethiopian, SL9, mejorados and gesha for context and go for clarity and flavor separation with a lo
