Roaster
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.

Per-lot signals (averaged)
Vary across lots; averaged over 11 in-stock lots.
Bonuses earned (per lot)
Base components are renormalized over whatever signals are available for each lot. SCA + Coffee Review are capped at 40% combined to keep the cupping story from dominating. Bonuses (accolades, awards, editorial coverage) and freshness decay are applied on top.

Dukes Coffee Roasters is recognized as a notable Australian specialty roaster, though community opinions on their current form are mixed. While one user noted they used to love Dukes but had a less satisfying experience with imported beans, others pointed out that their city location can be hit-or-miss and prone to tourist crowds. However, their international shipping promotions (such as free international shipping to the US and Asia) draw positive attention and interest from overseas coffee enthusiasts.
