How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 25% · 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.

    I really like Greater Goods. I think they won an award for best coffee in Texas or something last year.

  • r/Coffee · 12↑ · Austin recs?

    houndstooth and merit are trash. some of the worst espressos i’ve ever had. fleet is PERFECT and greater goods is also delicious. medici is pretty good if you’re downtown all the coffee you actually want to drink is on the east side.
