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.

Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

60

Sparse signal

Confidence2 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 23% 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 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 63.3 shrunk to 57.6 + bonuses = 60.

Mixed reviews· sentiment 60/100

Two Reddit threads give a mixed view of ReAnimator Coffee. A Philadelphia commenter called ReAnimator one of their favorite roasters, highly recommended it, and expected the company to answer sourcing questions. In a separate thread, a brewer described a ReAnimator Yirgacheffe as underwhelming after several V60 attempts, finding chocolate but not the fruit notes they wanted.

For instance, I was looking at ReAnimator Coffee and they have 10oz bags for $21. Currently, I buy a pound for $16 from my local roaster. Can anyone with knowledge in the industry give

    I got a Yirgacheffe from Reanimator Coffee the other day and have really been struggling to get the fruity notes I’m looking for out of it.

What the reviewer said

From Coffee Scene, discussing Guatemala Finca La Bolsa:
