Cherry's Pick

Preliminary

Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land.

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 18% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

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.
