Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

Noted
Preliminary
Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals
Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land. 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 18% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

Well-regarded· sentiment 80/100
Square Mile is widely recognized as a staple UK specialty roaster. While one user questioned the value proposition of their flavor profiles, they are consistently included in lists of "must-try" roasters and are frequently referenced as a reliable benchmark for brewing recipes and grind settings. Their clear distinction between filter and espresso roasts is noted by enthusiasts, sometimes as a point of convenience and other times as a limitation for those seeking omni-roasts.
