How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 23% · 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.

Broadcast Coffee is a Seattle-based roaster appreciated by locals for being accessible, reasonably priced, and conveniently located. Reviewers note their offerings—such as single-origin beans like Kenyan varieties and their Crossfade blend—deliver solid, fruity flavor notes and work well across brew methods like Aeropress and espresso. While one user finds them a bit 'hit or miss', the general consensus points to a reliable local favorite for everyday specialty coffee.
