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 88.3 shrunk to 72.0 = 72.

...g story short: Milchbar close to the Bahnhofstrasse is pretty good and is very centrally located, but the absolute best coffee in Zurich can be had at MAME. The Swiss Barista Champion of 2015&2016 (maybe 2017?) owns the place and you can usually talk to her about what you like etc. She'll be able to make good recomm

...yo and Milan. You guys said you had a similar experience and advised me to only get a pourover if there’s not a lot of orders being processed.
