Coffee roasting in Plymouth, MA

Watch on YouTubeCherrybook summary of the video
Derek Henderson of Speedwell Coffee in Plymouth, Massachusetts, demonstrates their small-batch fluid-bed roasting process. He explains the mechanics of fluid-bed roasting, where heat and air movement drive the roast rather than a turning metal drum.
Inside this video
From wl plymouth:
“We're a small batch specialty roaster.”
“The fluid bed roaster as opposed to a drum roaster... this moves because we're forcing air through the roaster.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 18% · 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.
