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.

Well-regarded· sentiment 70/100

Reddit mentions of the name 'Alchemist' are mostly ambiguous, referring either to a local shop in Denver (Alchemist), a roaster from Singapore (Alchemist Coffee), or specific beans named 'The Alchemist' by European roasters like DAK. Due to the lack of dedicated discussion about a standalone roaster named Alchemist Coffee, sentiment defaults to neutral-positive based on passing mentions.
