Enough independent signal to score at face value; no shrinkage applied.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 48% 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 0% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

Cult favorite· sentiment 88/100

Two independent Reddit comments give Proud Mary Coffee strongly favorable marks. A Portland customer praised its food and fun coffees and named Ghost Rider a favorite under $20. Another visitor said a Proud Mary coffee had impressed them more than a consistently good local comparison.

    The Proud Mary in Portland has some insanely good food and really fun coffees. They’ve recently cut down on their specialty pour over menu which may just be seasonal. I’ve never seen this much selection of bags and tins here though. Ghost Rider is my favorite sub $20 from them

    Regarding heart vs proud Mary — I was in Portland not all that long ago and had both. Heart i think has a really high level of consistency but it’s rare that I’m wowed by a coffee (and shot) like I was at Proud Mary. Just my 2c
