Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

Confident

Confidence3 of 7 signals on file

Enough independent signal to score at face value; no shrinkage applied.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 48% 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 0% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

You should get in contact with them and see if they have any specialised training for home baristas. Both seven seeds and market lane make amazing coffee and would be amazing places to learn from. I think you’d do better with training from a good shop than from a tafe style training option.
