Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

88

Top tier

Preliminary

Confidence3 of 7 signals on file

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50; read directionally until more source families land.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 35% 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 13% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 90.2 shrunk to 85.2 + bonuses = 88.

Colombia pink bourbon-standard and Lungo shots smell of pink lemonade
“Colombia pink bourbon-standard and Lungo shots smell of pink lemonade. Nice balanced acidity. Prefer this as ristretto though (as we usually do). Nice creaminess that cuts through dairy and oat milk, but also delightful when pulled to time as an americano.”

Storefronts may moderate reviews, and verification or incentive labels appear only when the provider supplies them. Their ratings are already represented in the aggregate above and are not counted again in Cherrybook Index.

How ratings count toward the Index

To count toward Cherrybook Index, an aggregate must come from a supported source, match this product, include at least 5 ratings, and have been refreshed within 90 days. Its weight is 12% for 5–24 ratings, 15% for 25–99, or 18% for 100 or more. Higher tiers require another base signal; a ratings-only lot stays at 12%.

Cherrybook summary of the video

A reflection on the branding of Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters, focusing on their distinct ampersand logo and how the company built an identity where the symbol stands in for the name.

Inside this video

“Not a lot of companies are able to shift their identity to a logo that does not include their name.”
“The ampersand strikes again.”
