63
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 77.3 shrunk to 65.7 + bonuses = 63.

...asted coffee and started digging in my bags of beans that only have 5-10g left and drinking those. These are light roasted beans made by local roasters in Vancouver (Timbertrain, 49th Parallel), which were roasted in July, drank today via V60. I anticipate that it's likely a placebo effect, but is it normal for 2-4

Adding to the votes for Luna, Modus, and Moving Coffee. Would like to add Timbertrain to the list. Revolver is hands down my fave coffee shop in the city (Timbertrain is a close second-granted I've got Harken and Prototype on my post-pandemic must try list). They don't roast their own beans but have a great rotating se
