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.

...who usually goes to starbucks, and oh man, by the end of it he was starting to praise all the 'bougie' drinks we were drinking. Brought some coffee back from Broadcast Roasters. Brewed it today in my Hario Mill --> Aeropress setup at work. Even though its 1 1/2 weeks old, the fruity notes that it has are truly. awes
- r/pourover · 8↑ · Has anyone from Seattle tried Stamp Act or Broadcast Roasters? Thoughts?
Seattle Cafe owner here. You can't find light roast from Washington? Need to try Google, not Bing. Broadcast is awesome. Great people, great roast. Anchorhead does some great naturals. Caffe Lusso is a little more medium roast, but 10/10 would recommend. Olympia Roasters, try the Sweetheart and you'll be hooked. Dancin
- r/pourover · 6↑ · Coffee of the day - Kenyan from Broadcast Coffee (Seattle, WA)
Coffee of the day - Kenyan from Broadcast Coffee (Seattle, WA) Used James Hoffmann technique. Water at 192°F. About a 3:45 total drawdown time. Definitely finding more fruity notes as the brew comes down in temp. Fantastic way to start the day! Happy Friday and cheers y’all!
