How this estimate works

A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with these listed attributes 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 listing in the comparison group, with at least 15 listings from three roasters and no roaster supplying more than 60% of it. Decaf, blends, variety segments, processing families and bag formats stay separate. Origin, roast and selling currency can broaden as the group label indicates. Prices are converted to USD per ounce; shipping and differences in tax treatment are not adjusted. 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.

Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

47

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 44.4 shrunk to 46.8 + bonuses = 47.

Indonesian delight
“55 years ago I stumbled upon an about-to-open new coffee store in Austin. The owner invited me in and handed me a few roasted beans from Celebes (Sulawesi). That started my love of Indonesian coffee. This one didn’t disappoint my high expectations. Baker’s chocolate, tobacco, earthy, herbal undertones and so smooth and low acid. Not over roasted! When I...”

Masterful roast
“I made great espresso with these beans no complaints with the quality of the beans, the acid profile was bright. However for my preference, I like a little darker roast such as the wbc roast you make.”

These are short excerpts from third-party buyer reviews published on this product page. Storefronts may moderate reviews, and verification or incentive labels appear only when the provider supplies them. Their ratings are already represented in the aggregate above and are not counted again in Cherrybook Index.

How ratings count toward the Index

To count toward Cherrybook Index, an aggregate must come from a supported source, match this product, include at least 5 ratings, and have been refreshed within 90 days. Its weight is 12% for 5–24 ratings, 15% for 25–99, or 18% for 100 or more. Higher tiers require another base signal; a ratings-only lot stays at 12%.

About Klatch Coffee

Community reputation · Reddit

Polarizing· sentiment 40/100

Three independent Reddit comments give Klatch Coffee a largely critical, product-specific picture. One brewer found a Panama coffee mildly fruity rather than the expected fruit bomb on its first pull. A self-described Klatch enthusiast called one blend a simple dark roast with no complexity and the roaster's worst blend. Another commenter said the Klatch coffees they had tried were barely acceptable.

Cherrybook summary of the video

Klatch Coffee reflects on twenty years in business, highlighting their journey from a single neighborhood coffee house to an international specialty coffee brand. The family-owned business emphasizes direct trade relationships, farmer connections, and competition-level barista training, while maintaining a commitment to quality coffee experiences.

Inside this video

From Mike Perry:

“Klatch kind of started out of necessity twenty some years ago. We really loved the idea of going out on our date night because we had young kids.”
“Coffee is really about an experience and a story. And it's a story that kind of starts at the farm level with the bean.”
“After twenty years, we as a brand really know who we are, and we look forward to the next twenty years and what they have to bring.”
