Cherrybook summary of the video

This video explains the science of coffee roasting and how the roasting cycle determines the roast level rather than just the color of the beans. It also discusses how different processing methods like dry, wet, and honey processing affect the flavor profile of light roast coffees.

Inside this video

From Sagebrush Coffee:

“A light roast coffee is not necessarily based on color, but it's based off of where it falls within the roasting cycle.”
“If you buy from Sagebrush Coffee a dry process, regardless of origin, a dry process coffee roasted light, expect it to taste fruity.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 5% · limited data

Coverage is below 50%. No Reddit or YouTube roaster-level signal is on file. 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 reflects the limited per-lot evidence plus the methodology's neutral baseline.
