How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 22% · 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.

Three Reddit contributions give a mixed-to-positive but limited view of Parlor Coffee. One writer said they had been on a Parlor coffee kick, and another said three Parlor coffees had been excellent. A third had tried Parlor but said Coffee by Design and Stumptown were their favorites by far.

I’ve tried Parlor, Vigilante, Coffee by Design, Counter Culture, and a handful of other brands from the grocery store that aren’t memorable. My favorites by far have been Coffee by Design and Stumptown. Funny enough they’re both from Portland, but different states! Looking for other similar or recommended beans. I apol
