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.

Polarizing· sentiment 50/100

Two Reddit threads give mixed accounts of Passenger Coffee. In one, a poster found a costly Hacienda La Esmeralda Gesha muted and disappointing less than a week after its stated roast date, while a commenter said it was too soon to drink and expected jasmine and stone-fruit notes to emerge with rest. In the other, a poster said they did not enjoy the Passenger coffees they tried because they were more acidic than they preferred.

  • r/Coffee · 37↑ · First Gesha experience leaving me puzzled

    First Gesha experience leaving me puzzled Hey all, I recently got some Hacienda La Esmeralda Gesha from Passenger Coffee as a gift, and it was very expensive. The only reason the gifter bought it is because they say they roast it and get it to your door in 2-3 days. Sure enough I got my coffee on the 12th with a roast.

  • r/Coffee · 10↑ · Suggestion for PA Roasters?

    I am looking for a roaster with less acidic undertones. I've tried square one and passenger coffee and didn't enjoy any of their roasts due to their coffee just being more acidic. I do love New Holland Co's blend but am looking to explore. Any suggestions? I'm more of a medium/dark blend coffee lover and do enjoy blend
