Noted
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 84.1 shrunk to 69.6 = 70.

Inside this video
From Jack Owens:
“I'm going to do this uh a moment 20 25 second pre-infusion and then a 20 second full brew.”
“When the puck starts saturating, you'll see it in the naked portafilter. And when it hits like a couple of grams in the cup, I'm going to switch over to full brew.”
