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 72.7 shrunk to 63.0 = 63.

Just like the title says. To be clear I’m in Douglas County. I’ve been ordering Herkimer from Seattle or various picks from Sweet Maria’s for years. This serves me well, but I’m trying to think more locally and frequently and keep my beans as fresh as possible. Places I’ve had good cups from but never bought beans from
