Short excerpts from third-party buyer reviews on this product page. Storefronts may moderate reviews; verification and incentive labels appear only when the provider supplies them. These ratings are already in the average above and are not counted again in the Cherrybook Index.

Not currently counted in the Cherrybook Index. Refreshed Nov 2, 2026. See the ratings on Frothy Monkey Coffee Roasters’s page

How ratings count toward the Index

To count, 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 to 24 ratings, 15% for 25 to 99, or 18% for 100 or more. Higher tiers need another signal alongside; a ratings-only coffee stays at 12%.
