From the editors
This lot is no longer available at the roaster.
We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 17 days ago. It now returns a not-found or members-only response, so we’ve archived the buy link rather than send anyone to a dead page. The notes, sensory chart, and editorial context below remain useful as a record of what this lot offered.

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 84.7 shrunk to 70.0 + bonuses = 72.

I really like Greater Goods. I think they won an award for best coffee in Texas or something last year.

houndstooth and merit are trash. some of the worst espressos i’ve ever had. fleet is PERFECT and greater goods is also delicious. medici is pretty good if you’re downtown all the coffee you actually want to drink is on the east side.
