Cherry's Index

Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

Noted

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.

About Mecca Coffee

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of the word 'mecca' in the threads refers to either a metaphorical 'coffee mecca' (a destination or hub for coffee), historical references to Mecca, or other cafes and roasters like Onyx, Vivace, and Square Mile.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