Cherry's Index

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

63

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 71.9 shrunk to 62.6 = 63.

Prodigal Coffee is recognized in specialty coffee circles as a high-end light roast option, often grouped alongside respected roasters like Sey, Black and White, and Dak. Users mention specific offerings like their washed Kenyans and experimental lots, though one user experienced a challenging roast that required dialed-in brewing adjustments. Subscription pricing and shipping costs are noted, with the owner transparently explaining their shipping model compared to competitors offering bundled 'free shipping.'
