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.

Ceremony Coffee Roasters receives positive mentions across Reddit, particularly for their cold brew and select single-origin beans, though experiences can vary. While some users praise offerings like their cold brew and the 'climate project' roast for pulling great shots, others note difficulty dialing in certain roasts or achieving desired extraction flavors for pour over. Overall, they are recognized as a solid specialty roaster with a strong local and retail presence in Maryland and surrounding areas.
