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

Preliminary
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.

Outside coverage of Sump Coffee highlights founder Scott Carey's unconventional transition from law to coffee and his uncompromising focus on bean quality over physical ambiance. Reviewers and interviewers note that the roaster avoids homogenization, deliberately refusing to blend coffees for consistency from batch to batch. Instead, Sump emphasizes seasonal and regional variations to showcase the unique profile of each specific bean. Coverage also touches on the distinct, non-traditional physical space designed to welcome customers while keeping the primary emphasis firmly on the cup.
