From the editors
This lot is no longer available at the roaster.
We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 21 days ago. It now returns a not-found or members-only response, so we’ve archived the buy link rather than send anyone to a dead page. The notes, sensory chart, and editorial context below remain useful as a record of what this lot offered.

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 75.0 shrunk to 53.1 + bonuses = 55.

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.”
