How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 14% · 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 reports a wush wush natural light roast looking super uneven and tasting like bittersweet chocolate, barn-like funk, hay, and a mix of overdeveloped and underdeveloped beans one week off roast. Another commenter describes a two-pound bag of Duomo medium dark roast purchased at Costco as disappointing and kind of boring, though not terrible.

I got a two pound bag of Black Oak Roasters Duomo medium dark roast at Costco. It's disappointing. Not terrible, just kind of boring. I'll drink my way through it eventually, but I'm bummed to have bought such a large bag.
