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 66.9 shrunk to 59.7 = 60.

Saint Frank just opened a cafe near where I live. So far I only tried their Little Brother, and I loved it! It's now one of my favorite chocolate-style blends. I'm curious how their filter-style coffee's work for espresso. Please let us know how you like Sister Moon and Don Pancho.

I've tried only about 2 dozen places off the list and I'd say Saint Frank has the worst pourover in the Bay Area. Now I live in the building next to Chromatic, who has one of the best and most consistent cups of coffee I've had, great beans too, although a bit pricey at $6.24 + tax for pourovers. Also, I was under the.

Been burning through Saint Frank Coffee's Bourbon Rosado Espresso beans. Those Pink Lemonade and Grapefruit notes are just so delicious. I'm already re-dosing the bean cellars only halfway through the work week.
