Enough independent signal to score at face value; no shrinkage applied.

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 0% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

About Temple Coffee Roasters

Community reputation · Reddit

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.
