Cherrybook Index (CBI)
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
63
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 73.3 shrunk to 63.4 = 63.

Two independent Reddit threads give Foundry Coffee a favorable picture. One commenter called it great, while another recalled a fruitier, lighter roast and a great Rocko coffee.

...- its seasonal and imo lost its way- but want to try its current version, they had been very consistent My wife loves the slightly lighter roast of Alain Ducase cafe in Kings Cross ( but crazy price) My recollection of foundry is a fruitier lighter roast (great Rocko ) so i also suggest Crankhouse, Curve and worksho

Foundry is great. Non roaster cafés would be Upshot espresso (tend to have Scandinavian roasters), Tamper coffee and Steamyard (they're regular roaster is Caravan from London).
