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.

Two independent Reddit threads give Broadsheet Coffee a strongly favorable picture. One drinker called a Huila coffee funky and good and their best cup in a while, while another listed Broadsheet among Boston-area favorites.

- r/Coffee · 31↑ · Two Step Fermentation or The Best Cup I've Had in a While
My local roaster (shout out to Broadsheet in Cambridge, MA) recently started selling a light roast from Huila, Colombia, producer Diego Garcia, that is so...funky and good! I had to write about it. I don't think I've ever had a coffee that uses this process, and I'm curious to know if others have and what they thought.
- r/Coffee · 29↑ · Best coffee in Boston?
Any coffee recommendations in the Boston area? (Either roasters or cafes.) So far my favorites are Barismo 364 and Broadsheet in Cambridge, and Gracenote near Chinatown, but I expect there are more good ones out there. Much appreciated!
