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 82.7 shrunk to 68.8 + bonuses = 74.

About Rogue Wave Coffee
Community reputation · Reddit
Well-regarded· sentiment 82/100
Two Reddit threads give Rogue Wave Coffee strongly favorable marks for its coffee. In one, a commenter called a Rogue Wave Clearpath coffee really good and described the coffee under discussion as one of the better ones for them. In the other, a poster rated Rogue Wave 10/10, recommended it, and said the roaster's regularly priced beans were always freshly roasted and tasted great, while questioning the price of smaller, more expensive bags.

I figured I couldn't have been the only one to experience the shipping delays/re-routes! Shipping within the US has gotten a bit weird, too. Yes, it's one of the better ones for me, too. I had another of the Rogue Wave Clearpath Coffees (El Mirador) and it was really good, too, but not as intense as this one.

...for less than half the amount? I wonder if there is a significant difference in these beans or maybe they are just tougher to come by/import. Has anybody tried beans with this price and was it worth it? If anyone is curious, I’m referring to Rogue Wave Coffee in Edmonton. They are 10/10 in my opinion, would recommen

Cherrybook summary of the video
This video is a brew tutorial by Ply from Rogue Wave Coffee, demonstrating how to brew the Kenya Maguta Amber CM Lot H03 using the Orea 01 dripper with a negotiator for a no-bypass brew. Ply also demonstrates an espresso recipe for the same coffee.
Inside this video
From Rogue Wave Coffee Co:
“For today, we are using the Baby Zero, the Orea 01. We're going to be using the Orea paper filter, the Wave, and we are going to use a negotiator to make it a no-bypass brew.”
“The way that you pour, you start in the middle, do a kind of quarter size, and then go out with one round and then you can come back.”
