How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 23% · 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.

Vice City Bean (often referred to as City Bean Roasters) is mentioned in the context of the Los Angeles specialty coffee scene. A user specifically recommended their Honduras Gea roast as a high-quality option for home espresso enthusiasts. There is very limited discussion regarding the roaster beyond this specific recommendation.
