Cherry's Index

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

79

Strong

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.

Proud Mary is widely recognized as a top-tier roaster, frequently mentioned alongside other industry leaders like Onyx and Tim Wendelboe. While they are highly regarded for their "deluxe" and exotic coffee selections, some customers have noted that their pricing is quite high, particularly for in-cafe pour-overs. There was one report of a recent dip in quality regarding a subscription, but this appears to be an isolated concern rather than a widespread trend.
