How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 23% · 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.

KB Coffee Roasters (often associated with their Paris café, KB Caféshop) is recognized by Reddit users as a noteworthy stop for specialty coffee in Paris. A user who received a sample of their Diviso aji coffee praised its incredible layered fruit notes and clean, non-funky profile. They are also recommended alongside other prominent Parisian specialty spots like Ten Belles and Coutume, and their café is highlighted as a must-visit location in the city.
