How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 33% · limited data
Coverage is below 50%. Available roaster-level evidence comes from Reddit and YouTube. 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.

Recently bought some anaerobically fermented Ethiopian beans from Mothership Coffee in the Las Vegas area. First time trying anaerobic coffee and was not thrilled with the funky flavors and astringency. Any recommendations on brewing methods that would limit some of those qualities? For context, I brewed with a V60 and
