How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 33% · 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.

Square Mile is widely recognized as a staple UK specialty roaster. While one user questioned the value proposition of their offerings, they are consistently included in lists of "must-try" roasters and are frequently referenced for their helpful brewing guides and specific grind recommendations. Their clear distinction between filter and espresso roasts is noted by enthusiasts, sometimes as a point of convenience and other times as a limitation for those seeking omni-roasts.
