Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
64
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 70.0 shrunk to 61.5 + bonuses = 64.

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of the word 'mecca' in the threads refers to either a metaphorical 'coffee mecca' (a destination or hub for coffee), historical references to Mecca, or other cafes and roasters like Onyx, Vivace, and Square Mile.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.
