Phil & Sebastian Coffee | The Ampersand Strikes Again
Coffee Showcase · 30K views on YouTube
Watch on YouTubeCherrybook summary of the video
A reflection on the branding of Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters, focusing on their distinct ampersand logo and how the company built an identity where the symbol stands in for the name.
Inside this video
From Coffee Showcase:
“Not a lot of companies are able to shift their identity to a logo that does not include their name.”
“The ampersand strikes again.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 33% · 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.
