How this estimate works

A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with these listed attributes typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock listing in the comparison group, with at least 15 listings from three roasters and no roaster supplying more than 60% of it. Decaf, blends, variety segments, processing families and bag formats stay separate. Origin, roast and selling currency can broaden as the group label indicates. Prices are converted to USD per ounce; shipping and differences in tax treatment are not adjusted. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.

Some listing details are missing or have limited model coverage, so the typical band shown is wider than usual.

Noted

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 78.4 shrunk to 66.3 + bonuses = 68.

    It's been over a year since the last AZ coffee post. I'm here on a visit. I won't make it all the way down to Tucson ([Presta](https://www.prestacoffee.com/) is decent) but I'll likely make it to Phoenix. I hear [Cartel](https://www.cartelcoffeelab.com/) used to be good, but my one experience there was so so. [Peixoto]

This video covers Presta Coffee Roasters; it is general roaster coverage.

Cherrybook summary of the video

The video is a brew guide for a co-fermentation box set from Presta Coffee Roasters, featuring three different Colombian coffees. The host explains her brewing method, emphasizing the importance of a lower temperature and gentle agitation for these specific coffees.

Inside this video

From Fellow:

“I am brewing all three coffees, or I'm suggesting that you do a little experimentation with this drop.”
“Brew all three coffees this same way and see what you like or what areas of opportunity you can see potentially for all three of them.”
