How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 23% · limited data
Coverage is below 50%. Available roaster-level evidence comes from Reddit. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore leans more heavily on roaster-level reputation than per-lot quality.

One thread author reports that they did not really like Alchemist. Another thread author reports stopping at Alchemist in Asakusa for an Ethiopia, describing it as good coffee that was doomed to fail compared to a previous one, and adding that they like the coffee shop while finding it a bit too clean.

…side-by-side at about 6 EUR each, Origami (since my family just broke mine), and a bunch of different Cafec filters. After that, on my way to the train I stopped at Alchemist (Asakusa). Another Ethiopia. Good coffee, but it was doomed to fail compared to the previous one. I like the coffee shop. Again, a bit too “clea
