How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 33% · 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.

Devoción is widely recognized as a staple in the NYC coffee scene, frequently cited as a favorite local roaster. Enthusiasts appreciate their unique cafe locations and include them in lists alongside other highly regarded roasters like SEY and Coffee Collective. While one user noted they can now pull better shots at home than the cafe, this is framed as a personal achievement rather than a critique of the roaster's quality.
