Watch on YouTubeCherrybook summary of the video
This video provides a look at the early days and operational philosophy of Rave Coffee. It highlights the founders' transition from the IT industry to coffee roasting, emphasizing their engineering-focused approach to the roasting process and their commitment to sourcing based on market trends and rigorous cupping.
Inside this video
From Doodlebox Media:
“It's quite an engineering or it's a manufacturing process and Rob's of that mindset. So, you know, to to learn about it and to actually roast it, it's it's like engineering.”
“The guys tend to very much sort of talk to the brokers, see what flavors are out there, what's the most popular, then we buy the product in based on some cupping tasting that they might do.”

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.

One thread author reports brewing a Guatemalan Washed (Caturra/Bourbon) from Rave Coffee using a V60 setup and ZP6 grinder. Another thread author notes trying a Rwandan Kinini Anaerobic from Rave Coffee with blackcurrant, black tea, and agave notes, producing a juicy cup with slight bitterness. A third poster mentions having enjoyed light and fruity beans from Rave in the past.
