Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

Sparse signal
Confidence15% coverage / 2 of 7 signals
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. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 63% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

Rathskeller uses a gritty, rock-inspired woodcut illustration for its label
The label features a dense, woodcut-style illustration of a skull, snake, and guitar speaker set against vibrant red flames. This aggressive, rock-inspired aesthetic occupies the entire center of the bag, leaving little room for the coffee's origin or process details. The visual weight is entirely on the gritty, monochromatic graphic rather than the product information. It functions more like a band tour poster than a traditional coffee label.
“This coffee is inspired by people who live on their own terms.”
