How this estimate works

A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with these listed attributes typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock listing in the comparison group, with at least 15 listings from three roasters and no roaster supplying more than 60% of it. Decaf, blends, variety segments, processing families and bag formats stay separate. Origin, roast and selling currency can broaden as the group label indicates. Prices are converted to USD per ounce; shipping and differences in tax treatment are not adjusted. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.

Noted

Confident

Confidence3 of 7 signals on file

Enough independent signal to score at face value; no shrinkage applied.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 53% 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 0% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

16 year old kid skips class to roast high end coffees

This video covers Modcup Coffee; it is general roaster coverage.

Cherrybook summary of the video

Brian Quan visits 16-year-old roaster Jesse (founder of Rising Coffee) at Modcup Coffee to roast high-end microlots, discuss roast curves and development time ratios, and cup the results.

Inside this video

From Brian Quan:

“Like he left school today to come roast right now, and as soon as he's done he's going to go back to school. Like that's how crazy this kid is.”
“I've been roasting a lot already like big batches of like just like $5 a pound green and all that stuff... It's good coffee, but like when you drink it, it's not going to stand out.”
