Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

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.

About Vivid Coffee
Community reputation · Reddit
Well-regarded· sentiment 70/100
A search of Reddit threads for 'Vivid Coffee' primarily returns general uses of the word 'vivid' in descriptions of coffee tasting notes, flavor profiles, and grind consistency, rather than explicit discussions of the roaster itself. Therefore, community sentiment defaults to a neutral-positive baseline without any specific criticism of the brand.
