Cherry's Index

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

81

Preliminary

Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 18% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

About Madcap Coffee

Community reputation · Reddit

Cult favorite· sentiment 85/100

Madcap is consistently regarded as a high-quality, reputable roaster within the specialty coffee community. They are frequently mentioned alongside other top-tier roasters like Onyx and Ceremony, and users often turn to them for high-quality single-origin beans and seasonal offerings. While some users note that their coffees can be challenging to dial in for espresso, this is generally framed as a testament to the complexity of the beans rather than a quality issue.
