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 78.3 shrunk to 66.3 + bonuses = 68.

Three Reddit posters describe positive experiences with Vesta Coffee Roasters. One Las Vegas espresso drinker says Vesta had been their local source for five months and calls the beans fantastic and reasonably priced. Another calls Vesta their go-to roaster and says it is excellent. A third says they enjoyed Vesta's barrel-conditioned San Marcelino, appreciated the experimentation, and thought it could work as an after-dinner coffee despite its funky, woody profile.
