52
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 53.9 shrunk to 52.2 = 52.

Two independent Reddit contributions give Prodigal Coffee limited and mixed evidence. One home espresso drinker said they regularly bought light roasts including Prodigal and found that longer ratios and lower doses materially improved those coffees. Another found Prodigal inconsistent, with more misses and fewer hits than Sey.

...h the variable of dose. I own an 18 gram Decent basket and have always pulled 18 gram shots. I also always purchase lighter roast espresso (Dak, Black and White, Prodigal). I’ve had great success with longer ratio shots with Extractamundo Dos, but I could never pull a 2:1 shot without this underlying acidity that ne

No I don’t think so. I find prodigal a bit inconsistent and generally more misses and fewer hits than those of Sey. What are you looking to change by moving from Sey?

From Coffee Reviews, discussing Finca La Roca IV - Jorge Rojas:

“A little more bitter than expected as the listed grapefruit felt apt given that there was a little bit just more bitterness relative to the other coffee that we had had.”
