Noted
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 33% 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 18% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 69.8 shrunk to 66.3 = 66.

Three independent Reddit threads give Spyhouse Coffee a mixed-positive view. One Twin Cities commenter named Spyhouse among their favorite roasters. Another brewer said fresh Spyhouse espresso beans were much better than Lavazza Super Crema. In a separate coffee flight, the poster described Spyhouse cold brew as sour with a pistachio flavor and ranked it last among three samples.

i would recommend trying out Bootstrap out of St. Paul, and Five Watt out of Minneapolis. (Spyhouse and Dogwood are my other two favorites)
- r/Coffee · 12↑ · Fairgrounds coffee flight in Wicker Park. From left to right: Metropolis - slightly bitter
Fairgrounds coffee flight in Wicker Park. From left to right: Metropolis - slightly bitter earthy flavor. Stumptown - slightly sour but sweet with a smooth finish Spyhouse - sour pistachio flavor. The Spyhouse was my least favorite.
- r/Coffee · 3↑ · Twin Cities Spyhouse vs Lavazza Super Crema
Just switched from super Crema to a fresh bag of Spyhouse espresso beans. Granted the age difference, gotta say Spyhouse is way better.
