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 83.1 shrunk to 69.0 = 69.

Cherrybook summary of the video

Tim Wendelboe demonstrates his brewing technique for both V60 and automatic filter brewers. He emphasizes the importance of coffee quality, grind size adjustment based on taste, and consistent water-to-coffee ratios.

Inside this video

From Tim Wendelboe:

“The most important ingredient that you need to think about is obviously the coffee. You cannot make good coffee without having good ingredients.”
“Normally, if the coffee taste astringent and bitter, you need to grind coarser. And if it taste watery and weak, you need to grind finer.”
