Cherrybook summary of the video

This interview with Yardstick Coffee co-founder Andre Chanco explores the company's origins and its evolution from a B2B supplier to a B2C retail brand. Chanco discusses the company's philosophy of using coffee as a platform to engage with various communities and the importance of education and training in their business model.

Inside this video

From ANC 24/7:

“I think doing something or building something was always part of the interest. So whether it was starting like a French fries business or like a printing business when I was a kid. So I always knew that I enjoyed building things.”
“I think what's great about coffee is it allows us to do a lot of things that's beyond the counter or beyond the bar.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 5% · 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.
