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 66.5 shrunk to 59.5 + bonuses = 62.

Curious if anyone has experience with Dune coffee roasters? I saw Julian from Coffee Reviews rave that the Frukt Benjamin Paz La Salsa Honduran Geisha was his coffee of the year for 2025, and I found that Dune has the same lot available. I’m just a bit cautious about roast style: Frukt seems like a very dialed-in Nordi
