Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

61

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 69.0 shrunk to 61.0 = 61.

About Saint Frank Coffee

Community reputation · Reddit

Mixed reviews· sentiment 66/100

Three Reddit contributions give a mixed-to-positive view of Saint Frank Coffee. One drinker loved Little Brother and called it a favorite chocolate-style blend, while another praised Bourbon Rosado's pink lemonade and grapefruit notes. A separate Bay Area taster said Saint Frank served the area's worst pourover among the shops they had tried.
