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 41.9 shrunk to 45.4 + bonuses = 40.

Another struggled with Chocolate Indulgence and asked about higher-quality alternatives.

I have been using Stone Street cold brew beans. I grind it coarsely using java press manual grinder on course setting. Last time I steeped for 24 hours (room temp) wi

Hey! I recently bought the Hario Mizudashi cold brew coffee pot and the Stone Street chocolate indulgence ground coffee.
