From the editors

This lot is no longer available at the roaster.

We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 29 days ago. It now returns a not-found or members-only response, so we’ve archived the buy link rather than send anyone to a dead page. The notes, sensory chart, and editorial context below remain useful as a record of what this lot offered.

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 49.8 shrunk to 49.9 + bonuses = 53.

Public aggregate shown on this lot’s page on Klatch Coffee’s storefront. Cherrybook stores the average and count, plus a small set of recent identity-free excerpts when the provider makes them available.

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.

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.”
