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.

Community reputation · Reddit
Well-regarded· sentiment 70/100
The provided Reddit threads do not discuss a specific commercial coffee roaster named 'Buna'. Instead, 'buna' appears in the context of the Amharic word for coffee, traditional Ethiopian Jebena brewing, Tomoca coffee in Ethiopia, a specific green coffee offering from Sweet Maria's (Buna Ababa), and a coffee name from JBC Roasters (Buna Boka #1). Consequently, there is no direct community sentiment regarding a roaster called Buna in these discussions.
