Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
80
Strong
Confident
Confidence45% coverage / 4 of 7 signals
Enough independent signal to score at face value; no shrinkage applied. 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 0% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

Sightglass is consistently regarded as a high-quality, reputable roaster within the specialty coffee community. Users frequently mention them alongside other respected roasters, and they are praised for their light roast profiles and excellent customer service. While some users have encountered challenges dialing in specific beans or extracting subtle tasting notes, these are discussed as common brewing hurdles rather than criticisms of the coffee's quality.
