Cherry's Index

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

66

Preliminary

Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 18% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

The provided threads do not contain any substantive discussion or reviews regarding 'REC Coffee'. The name appears to be a misinterpretation of the word 'recommendation' (often abbreviated as 'rec') in the thread titles, rather than a reference to a specific coffee roaster. As there is no negative sentiment or criticism, the sentiment is defaulted to neutral-positive.
