How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 32% · 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.

Polarizing· sentiment 48/100

Two independent Reddit posts give limited, mixed feedback on Stone Street Coffee's cold-brew products. One home brewer said their best batch with Stone Street beans still lacked the bold, rounded flavor they wanted. Another struggled with Chocolate Indulgence and asked about higher-quality alternatives.
