How this estimate works

A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with these listed attributes typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock listing in the comparison group, with at least 15 listings from three roasters and no roaster supplying more than 60% of it. Decaf, blends, variety segments, processing families and bag formats stay separate. Origin, roast and selling currency can broaden as the group label indicates. Prices are converted to USD per ounce; shipping and differences in tax treatment are not adjusted. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.

Some listing details are missing or have limited model coverage, so the typical band shown is wider than usual.

Sparse signal

Confidence1 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 5% 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 88% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 40.0 shrunk to 48.8 + bonuses = 51.

Cherrybook summary of the video

Quarter Horse Coffee shares their experience scaling production with Giesen industrial roasters, moving from a Giesen 15 to a Giesen 30 and 60. The roasters praise Giesen's reliability, consistency, build quality, and responsive UK-based customer service, noting that the equipment has significantly improved their roasting operations and efficiency.

Inside this video

From Giesen Roasting Solutions:

“Consistent great quality of coffee; we find that sweetness is the main thing that comes out when roasting with a Giesen.”
“It's just helped us to scale. You get to a point and you physically can't roast much more coffee.”
“I think the airflow and pressure profiling is probably also what sets it apart and what we're really happy with.”
