Preliminary
Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals
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. 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.

Community reputation · Reddit
Well-regarded· sentiment 70/100
The provided Reddit threads do not actually discuss the specialty coffee roaster named 'Mecca Coffee' (an Australian roaster). Instead, every single mention of the word 'mecca' in the threads refers to either a metaphorical 'coffee mecca' (a destination or hub for coffee), historical references to Mecca, or other cafes and roasters like Onyx, Vivace, and Square Mile. There is no community sentiment expressed toward Mecca Coffee specifically.
