Cherry's Index

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

Noted

Sparse signal

Confidence23% coverage / 2 of 7 signals

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. 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.

Traffic Coffee is mentioned in discussions regarding experimental and fruit-forward processing, such as naturally processed coffees with intense aroma profiles. One user noted an exceptionally strong aromatic profile that required some dialing in, while another discussed a natural coffee from the roaster that had a wonderful, juicy nose but a slightly muddy cup. Overall, mentions are limited but highlight adventurous and fruit-forward offerings.
