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

Strong

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.

About Temple Coffee Roasters

Community reputation · Reddit

Well-regarded· sentiment 75/100

Temple Coffee Roasters is a well-regarded roaster, particularly in the Sacramento area where they are frequently cited as a local staple. They are often mentioned alongside other respected specialty roasters in national discussions and subscription services. While one user noted a specific coffee was difficult to dial in and another felt their cafe pricing was high, these are isolated experiences rather than systemic quality issues. The brand previously faced significant community backlash regarding their COVID-19 mask policies, though this appears to be a historical event rather than a reflection of their current coffee quality or service.
