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 80.3 shrunk to 67.5 = 67.

You should get in contact with them and see if they have any specialised training for home baristas. Both seven seeds and market lane make amazing coffee and would be amazing places to learn from. I think you’d do better with training from a good shop than from a tafe style training option.

Market Lane is a specialty roaster/cafe based in Melbourne based on their reputation and my personal experience, their beans are pretty damn good
