How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 41% · 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.

Olympia Coffee Roasters is consistently regarded as a high-quality roaster within the community. Users frequently cite their beans as producing excellent results, with one user describing their 'Big Truck' espresso blend as the best shot they've ever had. While there is a mention of a slow drawdown with one of their decaf offerings, it is treated as an isolated brewing challenge rather than a quality issue, and the brand is generally associated with positive experiences.
