How this estimate works
A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with this exact profile typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock lot in the comparison class, so it moves as the catalog does. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.

Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
66
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 77.8 shrunk to 66.0 = 66.

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.
