Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
67
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 18% 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 55% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 84.0 shrunk to 65.3 + bonuses = 67.

...e imo super high quality greens price delta doesn’t consistently show up in my cup but I’m happy to pay to try from time to time. Conversely some roasters due to process or just strategy use lower cost greens (still great) and make tasty coffee. S&W and friedhats come to mind here. I consider these great value roast

Inside this video
From European Coffee Trip:
“I think that people are searching their whole lives to find what they love to do. And I maybe I came across by accident, could be. But it's been the main direction ever since, I think.”
“I really believe that things happen for a reason.”
“We chose to work with an investor, which is also a bad idea. That was the biggest lesson, I think. That didn't really work out because we were three people, three guys, and we just also had different opinions about what to do.”
