How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 33% · limited data
Coverage is below 50%. Available roaster-level evidence comes from Reddit and YouTube. 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.

Well-regarded· sentiment 76/100
Four independent Reddit threads give Regalia Coffee a broadly favorable picture with preparation and consistency caveats. One poster loved Regalia's roast style and another reported strong brewing success. A natural Ethiopian was initially amazing before losing sweetness, while a coffee disliked as drip became floral, honeyed, and lemony after an unusually long cold-brew steep.

That’s a really important point, thanks for bringing it up. I still keep other brewers around in case I get unlucky with a defect. I’ve had the most success with coffee from Regalia, Heart, Sey, and George Howell.

I had some Regalia Gatomboya AA that's a bit past its prime for espresso and I didn't really like it as a drip. So I decided to make a cold brew out of it. I had

...ave came to terms with this being the coffee that I enjoy the most. Its not feasible though to continue to order coffee from over seas. I love Sey, Prodigal, and Regalia. All three roast their coffee how I like it. Does anyone have any recs for US based roasters like this? I am tired of ordering coffee online, and f

For background, I’m using V60 with ZP6 and TWW mixed with distilled gallon water. Over the weekend, I made Regalia’s natural Ethiopian and it was amazing. About 2 weeks post roast. I was experimenting with grind sizes and anything from 3.5 to 6 produces a very sweet, good coffee. I kept everything the same and suddenly
