Preliminary

Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 18% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

Sey Coffee is widely recognized in enthusiast circles as a premier US roaster, frequently mentioned alongside global leaders like Tim Wendelboe and La Cabra. While their ultra-light roast profile is occasionally described as challenging to brew or polarizing, this is generally framed as a technical hurdle for the home barista rather than a quality defect. They are consistently held up as a benchmark for high-end, modern coffee roasting.
