Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

Preliminary
Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals
Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 18% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

Well-regarded· sentiment 70/100
The mentions of "PPP Coffee" in the provided threads are largely incidental and do not reflect a consensus on their coffee quality. One user identifies them as a local specialty coffee shop in Singapore that carries Baratza products, while other mentions of "PPP" refer to unrelated acronyms like "Poor Puck Prep" or "Payroll Protection Program." Because there is no negative feedback regarding their actual coffee or service, the sentiment remains neutral-positive by default.
