Inside this video

From Stumptown Coffee Roasters:

“We're always looking for roast that showcase the inherent sweetness in the coffee, that are transparent and juicy, and that are really balanced.”
“Our day starts with looking at the previous day's roast and kind of divvying up what we want to take a look at.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 28% · 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.

Even though I have expanded my selection to places like B&W, I always keep at least two or three bags of Stumptown handy. But the last few months it seems like something is off.
