From the editors

This lot is no longer available at the roaster.

We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 81 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.

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 75.8 shrunk to 64.8 = 65.

Three Reddit contributions give Koppi Roasters a mixed but favorable picture. One brewer struggled to get good flavor from two Ethiopian coffees. Another detailed a Finca El Paraiso they considered among their best recent coffees, and a third described a Burundi coffee as awesome despite some under-extraction.
