How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 7% · 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.

    I am trying to dial in this new coffee from Black & White and typically, I’m able to find a good balance of sweetness with acidity in their coffee in a couple cups but this new one is tricky! It was so sour at first that I started at a 56 on my DF64 Gen 2 and ended all the way into the middle of the Moka pot settings t

    I cracked open a bag of The Future - Mai Tai from Black & White, and even just off the roast date, it's so good. I've brewed it a few times now and it seems to favor a longer brew period than a shorter one. Grinding the coffee at 14 on my Baratza Encore yields a drain time of 3:00-3:30. It starts off with a slight bitt
