How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 22% · 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.

Hola Coffee Roasters (based in Madrid) is praised by Reddit users for its great cafe atmosphere and fruity, balanced specialty coffee offerings, such as their Kenyan Gathaithi. Visitors and locals alike highlight it as a favorite neighborhood spot in Madrid, and one commenter humorously noted they correctly spell 'Gesha'. Note: Several search results matched the Spanish greeting 'hola' or the Kicking Horse 'Hola' blend rather than the specific roaster, but direct mentions of the Madrid shop/roaster are strictly positive.
