Guatemala El Injerto Red Cat — Espresso
Expect Chocolate, Raspberry, and Candied Ginger from this washed lot.
Huehuetenango, GT · Washed

Roaster · Mill Valley, CA
34 lots in stock, mostly Colombia, Honduras and Guatemala.
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.

Per-lot signals (averaged)
Vary across lots; averaged over 34 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.

Three Reddit posters describe Equator coffees ranging from excellent to technique-sensitive. One says Ethiopia Suke Quto produced possibly the best cup they had ever made with a 4:6 Chemex method. Another uses Equator's Ethiopia Sidama Ardi as a positive benchmark. A third initially struggled with Thailand Doi Pangkhon but brewed a good cup after grinding an hour ahead and letting the grounds rest.

First cup was 20 on the Encore, 60g bloom, and one solid pour after. 300g/20g. It was good! Nothing crazy, kinda lacking flavor. But not

I can get a serviceable cup out of it with my V60 but it hasn’t been as good as some of the Ethiopians I’ve recently purchased from Black & White or Equator Coffees’ Ethiopia Sidama Ardi.

I have been brewing coffee in a V60 for a while now (getting coffee from a Trade subscription) and I recently got a bag of Thailand Doi Pangkhon from Equator Coffees. I brewed with my preferred 4:6 method and also a method I got from Baratza. With both methods, in the bloom, this coffee swells up like crazy. Both cups.
