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 86.9 shrunk to 71.2 + bonuses = 74.

    I have really started enjoying great coffee over the last year and want to try home roasting. My favorite roasters are Heart, Verve, Intelligentsia, George Howell, Culture, and whoever roasts for Kaffee 1668. Couple of questions: 1.
