Cherrybook summary of the video

This video provides a tour of the Manhattan Coffee Roasters facility in Rotterdam, highlighting their transition from a smaller space to a large, production-focused roastery. It details their equipment, including their Typhoon roaster, and their approach to quality control, sourcing, and collaboration.

Inside this video

From European Coffee Trip:

“I do always say it's a factory, 'cause I think a roastery gets romanticized quite a bit when in the end of the day it is a factory with a load of machinery that are being operated.”
“The new space that we're in now is almost 980 square meters. This is including offices, but of course the biggest area is the production floor itself.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 23% · 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.

Mixed reviews· sentiment 63/100

Two independent Reddit threads give Manhattan Coffee Roasters a mixed picture. One drinker called several experimental coffees amazing, while a recent local buyer found three bags merely acceptable and below the roaster's previous standard.
