Cherry's Index

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

Noted

Preliminary

Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 18% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

About Kaldi's Coffee

Community reputation · Reddit

Well-regarded· sentiment 80/100

In the Reddit coffee community, 'Kaldi' is almost exclusively discussed as a manufacturer of home coffee roasting equipment (such as the Kaldi Wide, Mini, and Fortis) rather than as a coffee bean roaster. Users frequently share their experiences with these drum roasters as part of their progression in the hobby, often modifying them with sensors like Phidgets. While there is occasional mention of the brand in broader coffee contexts, the community sentiment is focused on the hardware's utility for home roasting enthusiasts.
