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
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 83.5 shrunk to 69.3 + bonuses = 70.

...em in the freezer and they'll keep fresh longer. In a way, this was going to be a test of that. Yesterday, I took these beans out.

- r/Coffee · 8↑ · V60: do certain beans respond poorly to Hoffman method?
I've used it to great success before, but I was surprised at how poorly my coffee tasted when using it for my new beans. 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
