How this estimate works

A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with this exact profile typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock lot in the comparison class, so it moves as the catalog does. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.

Noted

Sparse signal

Confidence2 of 7 signals on file

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 75.0 shrunk to 64.4 + bonuses = 67.

Well-regarded· sentiment 75/100

Temple Coffee Roasters is widely recognized as a staple specialty roaster, particularly in the California coffee scene. Users frequently include them in lists of reputable roasters and appreciate their diverse offerings, though some note that specific single-origin beans can be challenging to dial in or that their cafe pricing is on the higher side. While the brand faced significant community backlash in 2020 regarding workplace policies, their reputation for quality coffee remains intact among enthusiasts who continue to purchase and discuss their beans.
