Noted

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.

  • r/Coffee · 12↑ · Austin recs?

    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.
