Price and availability set by the roaster.
Batch roasted weekly
Roasted on a scheduled weekly rhythm. Very fresh if you order right after a roast day; less so near the end of the cycle.
“Tuesday is war, it's our main roast day & we're in from the crack of dawn until after the sun sets. Tuesday is when the vast majority of orders get shipped.” source ↗

How this estimate works
A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with this exact profile typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock lot in the comparison class, so it moves as the catalog does. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.
Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
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 72.7 shrunk to 63.0 = 63.

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.
