Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
75
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 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.
