From the editors

This lot is no longer available at the roaster.

We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 0 days ago. It now returns a not-found or members-only response, so we’ve archived the buy link rather than send anyone to a dead page. The notes, sensory chart, and editorial context below remain useful as a record of what this lot offered.

Sparse signal

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 75.3 shrunk to 64.5 = 65.

Two live Reddit sources present SEY positively, with qualifications.

  • r/Coffee · 44↑ · Sey Coffee- part 2!

    I posted about Sey Coffee a few months ago and got lots of feedback- "Why is there so much disagreement about Sey? They're considered one of the best US roasters; but a bunch of people say their coffee is under- developed, tastes like hay, hard to brew, etc". I'm on my second bag now-José Arcadio Caro- which got great.

  • r/pourover · 10↑ · Atmosed beans seem to be aging faster than they should .. Am I missing something?

    I realize this may well be true. I drink a lot of Sey as well. What is the longest you have kept Sey beans going? After roast / after open? Have you ever kept them long enough that you’ve decided they’re “dead” and you throw them out? What was that date? I wonder if Sey beans are a weird subject for this experiment (my
