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.

You should get in contact with them and see if they have any specialised training for home baristas. Both seven seeds and market lane make amazing coffee and would be amazing places to learn from. I think you’d do better with training from a good shop than from a tafe style training option.

Market Lane is a specialty roaster/cafe based in Melbourne based on their reputation and my personal experience, their beans are pretty damn good
