Cherrybook summary of the video

This video provides a detailed tutorial on the pour-over brewing method used at Proud Mary Coffee. It covers their specific 1:16 brewing ratio, the importance of pre-wetting the filter, and techniques for pouring and agitation to ensure consistent extraction.

Inside this video

From Proud Mary Coffee:

“We brew all of our pour-overs using a 1:16 ratio. That means one part of coffee to 16 parts of water.”
“We roast all of our coffee to taste exceptional within this window.”

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.

Cult favorite· sentiment 88/100

Two independent Reddit comments give Proud Mary Coffee strongly favorable marks. A Portland customer praised its food and fun coffees and named Ghost Rider a favorite under $20. Another visitor said a Proud Mary coffee had impressed them more than a consistently good local comparison.

    The Proud Mary in Portland has some insanely good food and really fun coffees. They’ve recently cut down on their specialty pour over menu which may just be seasonal. I’ve never seen this much selection of bags and tins here though. Ghost Rider is my favorite sub $20 from them

  • r/Coffee · 60↑ · 50 state coffee needs

    Regarding heart vs proud Mary — I was in Portland not all that long ago and had both. Heart i think has a really high level of consistency but it’s rare that I’m wowed by a coffee (and shot) like I was at Proud Mary. Just my 2c
