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 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

About Proud Mary Coffee

Cult favorite· sentiment 85/100

Proud Mary is widely recognized in the specialty coffee community as a top-tier roaster with locations in Portland and Austin, known for offering an extensive selection of exotic and high-end "deluxe" coffees, including geishas. While they receive high praise for their cafe experiences, exceptional pour-overs, and blends like Ghost Rider, some community members note that their pricing has become quite steep, and a few subscribers have raised recent quality control concerns regarding under-roasted batches. Nonetheless, they are frequently grouped alongside world-renowned roasters and remain a favorite for specialty enthusiasts.
