Cherrybook summary of the video

This interview with Eric Faust, founder of Duluth Coffee Company, traces the roaster's evolution from a small, garage-based operation to a community-focused roastery and coffee shop. It highlights the company's commitment to sourcing, the importance of their roasting process, and their goal of fostering a community space centered around coffee.

Inside this video

From Making It Up North:

“It wasn't just Eric's coffee shop, it was Duluth Coffee Company, and it was representative of everyone that was working there and everything that we were creating every day.”
“We've tried to remember and redefine ourselves as a roasting company first that operates a fantastic coffee shop.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 5% · limited data

Coverage is below 50%. No Reddit or YouTube roaster-level signal is on file. 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 reflects the limited per-lot evidence plus the methodology's neutral baseline.
