Confidence3 of 7 signals on file
Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50; read directionally until more source families land.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 33% 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 18% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 87.9 shrunk to 81.3 = 81.

...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
