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 78.5 shrunk to 66.4 + bonuses = 66.

Kurasu is highly regarded in the coffee community, particularly as a trusted source for Japanese brewing equipment, recipes, and coffee culture. Users frequently cite their instructional videos and recipes as reliable references for various brewers like the Kalita 155 and Origami. While their physical shop in Kyoto receives positive mentions for its atmosphere and quality, they are perhaps most widely recognized online as a go-to retailer for enthusiasts looking to source specific Japanese coffee gear.
