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 88.6 shrunk to 72.2 + bonuses = 71.

I'm also from Calgary and I love philosafy on 17 Ave (the asain man makes the most amazing pour over ever), Rosso, and kicking horse 3 sisters (grocery store brand but still amazing, imo)
- r/pourover · 9↑ · Sunday Sessions’ hosted by Cole Torode at the Rosso Roastery.
I kind of love Rosso Coffee Roasters. Affordable, excellent quality, makes buying local more appealing than all the roasters in Calgary, for sure.
