When buyer and supplier use different water, disagreement may reflect the evaluation system as well as the coffee.
How Bean Density Relates to Coffee Quality
Bean density can help explain green-coffee structure, roast behavior and lot variation, but it is not a standalone quality score and should be read with moisture, defects, sensory data and lot identity.
