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 86.3 shrunk to 70.8 = 71.

Hell yeah I love KB roasters! I was visiting France last summer and had a coffee from a small shop that had their beans on a shelf and I bought a bag as a souvenir for myself and that completely changed my world. They became my go to roastery instantly and I've been regularly ordering from them since. Such a crazy proc
