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.

One Reddit commenter says Nespresso's convenience is hard to overstate and that quality is great with capsules such as Colonna. In a separate post seeking UK-based roasters, the author lists Colonna among roasters they are a big fan of.

It’s hard to overstate the convenience factor of Nespresso, and the quality is great with capsules like Colonna.
- r/pourover · 3↑ · Best UK based roasters?
I’m looking for some new UK based roasters. I’m a big fan of Roundhill, Colonna, Workshop, Assembly etc and have tried quite a few such as Darks Arts, Sq Mile, Origin which are okay. I’m wondering what some of peoples favourite coffee’s have been recently from the UK?
