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 Clifton Coffee a favorable but qualified picture. One drinker found its Yunnan coffee complex, subtly sweet, and surprisingly good but said it would not make their top 10 or top 20; a Bristol commenter named Clifton as their local choice.

...China (well, from Britain, but the coffee comes from China). It comes from Yunnan province, specifically, from the Fuyan Coffee Coop, and my brother got it from Clifton Roasters in Bristol. I’ll say this: not bad at all. Complex, subtly sweet, with a citrusy bitterness in the background. Wouldn’t make my top 10 list
- r/espresso · 9↑ · Have I missed any must have UK roasters from my list!
I’m a big fan of local roasters so for me in Bristol I go for Clifton but there are also Extract and Wogan coffee locally (a lot coffee shops in Bristol use Extract or Clifton)
