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 69.5 shrunk to 61.2 + bonuses = 64.

Six independent Reddit threads give Panther Coffee a generally positive but mixed picture. A Miami visitor called a Panther cortado fine and sweet but not distinctive enough to revisit, while another home brewer reported a weak Chemex result and received advice that dialing, not the beans, was likely the issue. Other contributors named Panther among favorite or enjoyed roasters, missed its Wynwood espresso after moving, and called the 1927 espresso amazing.
