Press kit
Cherrybook is the reference for specialty coffee. It tracks 500+ specialty roasters across 37 countries. Its July 2026 shelf census includes 6,443 in-stock listings from 471 roasters in 36 countries. Every lot is scored on a transparent 7-source composite (Cherrybook Index). The catalog spans the US, Canada, UK, Continental Europe (Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, Ireland, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, Iceland, Poland, Greece, Finland), Japan, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, India, UAE, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and producer-country roasters in Colombia, Panama, Brazil, and Vietnam. Independent of any roaster, every accolade and review citation links back to its source.
Built for buyers who want to compare lots head-to-head before ordering, and for editors / writers who want catalog-wide analysis grounded in real data, not vibes.

Cherrybook Index (CBI): the composite
A 0-to-100 evidence composite with explicit source coverage. It is not a blind cup score. Seven base signals, weighted; missing sources are dropped and remaining weights renormalized so a score is never inflated by averaging present signals against a zero for what we don’t have. Bonuses (Cup of Excellence, Roast Magazine Roaster of the Year, Good Food Awards, etc) layer on top.
| Signal | Weight | Source |
|---|---|---|
| SCA grade | 25% | Roaster-published cupping score |
| Coffee Review | 20% | coffeereview.com |
| Reddit sentiment | 18% | r/coffee discussion |
| On-shop product ratings | 12–18% | Supported product-page review widgets |
| YouTube reviews | 10% | Third-party reviewer mentions |
| Cherrybook tastings | 5% | Member tasting log averages |
| Roaster transparency | 5% | Producer / farm / lot disclosure depth |
On-shop ratings are public storefront aggregates, not verified-purchase claims. They require at least 5 ratings from a supported source and a refresh within 90 days. Only current, validated, product-bound aggregates qualify; weight rises only as the product-level count grows and another base signal corroborates the lot. A ratings-only lot remains at 12%.

Pull-quotes you can use
Reusable framing for stories citing Cherrybook data. No preapproval needed; please link back to cherrybookcoffee.com on first reference.
- “The median priced listing in Cherrybook’s July 2026 shelf census was $1.80 an ounce, or $21.60 for twelve ounces.”
- “Geisha-labeled listings carried a 2.7x median price ratio over other priced listings: $4.72 versus $1.77. The mean ratio was 4.0x because of the long right tail.”
- “Anaerobic-labeled listings had a $2.37 median price versus $1.87 for washed, an unadjusted 27% difference. The comparison does not isolate process from origin, varietal, producer, or lot positioning.”
