Cherry's Index

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

60

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.

About Rave Coffee

Community reputation · Reddit

Well-regarded· sentiment 70/100

Rave Coffee is mentioned in passing by a UK-based beginner who purchased and enjoyed their Fudge Blend and Colombia El Carmen beans for around £15 for two 250g bags. The other two threads use the word 'rave' as a verb regarding equipment rather than referring to the roaster itself. Overall sentiment is neutral to positive based on the single user's favorable experience.
