How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 23% · 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.

Color coded bags to distinguish coffee processing methods at a glance
Pier Coffee Roasters uses a strict color coding system to categorize processing methods. Washed coffees arrive in bright orange bags, while anaerobic lots are wrapped in deep purple. The design relies entirely on these bold, solid blocks of color to distinguish the lineup. It is a functional visual shorthand that removes the need for complex labels.
