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 58.3 shrunk to 54.8 = 55.

Two independent Reddit comments give Luna a sharply mixed picture. One called Luna a favorite North American roaster with amazing coffees. Another, after trying several bags, found the cups vaguely light and said they did not understand the acclaim.

Man I’ve tried a couple bags of Luna and I just don’t get the hype. It’s never been much more than a sort of vague, light tasting coffee to me. Maybe cause I was grinding with an Encore at the time and the grinder just wasn’t good enough? I’m just surprised about the hype I guess

Yup. Luna is one of my favorite roasters in North America right now, amazing coffees.
