Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

63

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 67.2 shrunk to 59.9 + bonuses = 63.

Well-regarded· sentiment 72/100

Two Reddit contributions give Intelligentsia Coffee a positive but qualified picture. One commenter praised the brews at a Chicago location. A home brewer found older Intelligentsia beans good but slightly ashy when steeped too long.
