How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 21% · 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.

Two independent Reddit contributions give Little Wolf Coffee Roasters sharply mixed evidence. One post called Little Wolf the writer's current favorite roaster. Another brewer discarded a Colombian coffee after finding its aroma and repeated brews unpleasantly sour.
