How this estimate works
A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with these listed attributes typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock listing in the comparison group, with at least 15 listings from three roasters and no roaster supplying more than 60% of it. Decaf, blends, variety segments, processing families and bag formats stay separate. Origin, roast and selling currency can broaden as the group label indicates. Prices are converted to USD per ounce; shipping and differences in tax treatment are not adjusted. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.
Some listing details are missing or have limited model coverage, so the typical band shown is wider than usual.

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 + bonuses = 61.

“Before you even take a sip, this lovely coffee smells sweet and fruity. I actually got strawberry ice cream. But on first sip, it has a delicious acidity which balances out all the sweetness. An aftertaste of bitter marmalade finishes a really enjoyable cup. Again, I think, that balance of bitter and sweet. I know marmalade is going out of fashion, but...”

How ratings count toward the Index
To count toward Cherrybook Index, an aggregate must come from a supported source, match this product, include at least 5 ratings, and have been refreshed within 90 days. Its weight is 12% for 5–24 ratings, 15% for 25–99, or 18% for 100 or more. Higher tiers require another base signal; a ratings-only lot stays at 12%.

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
- r/Coffee · 10↑ · Recommendations for Sheffield (UK)?
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).
