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 48% 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.

Happy to have found this thread. Rocking the Quick Mill Vetrano 2B (twin copper boiler) and Baratza Vario ceramic grinder. Loving the 199° brew combo with Nossa Familia Full Cycle beans or Red Bird Jaguar blend.
