How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 18% 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 55% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

Polarizing· sentiment 50/100
Two Reddit threads give mixed accounts of Passenger Coffee. In one, a poster found a costly Hacienda La Esmeralda Gesha muted and disappointing less than a week after its stated roast date, while a commenter said it was too soon to drink and expected jasmine and stone-fruit notes to emerge with rest. In the other, a poster said they did not enjoy the Passenger coffees they tried because they were more acidic than they preferred.

First Gesha experience leaving me puzzled Hey all, I recently got some Hacienda La Esmeralda Gesha from Passenger Coffee as a gift, and it was very expensive. The only reason the gifter bought it is because they say they roast it and get it to your door in 2-3 days. Sure enough I got my coffee on the 12th with a roast.
- r/Coffee · 10↑ · Suggestion for PA Roasters?
I am looking for a roaster with less acidic undertones. I've tried square one and passenger coffee and didn't enjoy any of their roasts due to their coffee just being more acidic. I do love New Holland Co's blend but am looking to explore. Any suggestions? I'm more of a medium/dark blend coffee lover and do enjoy blend

From Brian Quan, discussing Bukeye Washing Station - Hills Set:
“It's the culmination of about three, three plus years of kind of collaboration with our producer partners on the ground in Burundi.”
“So it feels like an incredibly celebratory moment to be at the stage now where we're not trying to figure out if it's possible to make this, but we're just at the point where we can share this with people around the country.”
