How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 33% · limited data

Coverage is below 50%. Most of this roaster’s lots are scored off roaster-level signals (Reddit + YouTube) without per-lot SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, or published buyer reviews. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherry’s Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The avg Cherry’s Index reflects general reputation more than per-lot quality.

Airship Coffee is mentioned positively across r/espresso and r/Coffee, with users sharing photos of their setups, talking about specific offerings like their Ethiopia Kochere and espresso blends, and buying them via subscription services like Trade. While one user encountered a savory/meaty flavor note with an Ethiopian roast and another noticed typical low-blooming behavior in their sugar cane decaf, the general sentiment is appreciative, with several users explicitly calling them a favorite roaster.
