Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

80

Strong

Preliminary

Confidence3 of 7 signals on file

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50; read directionally until more source families land.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 35% 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 13% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 83.0 shrunk to 78.9 + bonuses = 80.

I have a bag of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from Sightglass, and I attempted to dial in using Hoffman's V60 method and adjusting grind size. My coffee was bitter and harsh on first sips no matter what grin
