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 = 56.

...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
