How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 40% · 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.

Rave Coffee is mentioned in passing by a UK-based beginner who purchased and enjoyed their Fudge Blend and Colombia El Carmen beans for around £15 for two 250g bags. The other two threads use the word 'rave' as a verb regarding equipment rather than referring to the roaster itself. Overall sentiment is neutral to positive based on the single user's favorable experience.
