How this estimate works
A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with these listed attributes typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock listing in the comparison group, with at least 15 listings from three roasters and no roaster supplying more than 60% of it. Decaf, blends, variety segments, processing families and bag formats stay separate. Origin, roast and selling currency can broaden as the group label indicates. Prices are converted to USD per ounce; shipping and differences in tax treatment are not adjusted. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.

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 59.9 shrunk to 55.7 + bonuses = 51.

Two independent Reddit threads provide limited, mixed-positive evidence for Sparrow Coffee. A visitor said the coffee was great and the shop had great ambience. A separate brewer said Sparrow's Ethiopian Dimtu Tero did not make a bad cup, but they struggled to extract as much flavor as expected from the light washed coffee.

...with a particular one that I bought last week and can’t quite get as much flavor out of as I feel like I should be able to. I have a fellow ode grinder with factory burrs, this is Sparrow’s Coffee Ethiopian Dimtu Tero coffee. I use the water between 202-204 degrees fahrenheit and have been trying settings between th
