How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 35% · 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.

Panther Coffee is recognized as a staple of the Miami coffee scene and appreciated nationally among specialty coffee enthusiasts. Users frequently praise specific offerings like their espresso and the '1927' blend, noting their smooth, full-bodied profile suited for milk drinks and espresso. While one user initially struggled with extraction parameters due to switching from darker commercial roasts to Panther's denser beans, the community quickly provided helpful guidance to dial them in successfully. Overall, they are grouped alongside respected regional roasters and enjoyed as a go-to local or subscription option.
