Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals

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. 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.

Well-regarded· sentiment 80/100

Square Mile is widely recognized as a staple UK roaster, frequently appearing on "must-try" lists and serving as a benchmark for brewing guidance. While one user questioned the value proposition of their coffee profiles, the community generally respects their expertise, often citing their specific brew recommendations (such as for the Clever Dripper) as a helpful resource. Their clear distinction between filter and espresso roasts is noted by enthusiasts, sometimes viewed as a helpful guide and other times as a limitation for those seeking omni-roasts.
