How it works:

For each coffee you evolve or rate, you will increase in rank.  Rank gives you a number of privileges, such as increased weighting when evolving blends and being invited to cupping where we decide which coffee gets sourced next.

Weighting

What's the point?  The reason is twofold.  First it's a way to reward our most frequent users by giving them the keys to car if you will.  Those who have high ranks are the most involved, and the site just won't work as well without a strong involved core.  The second reason is experience.  Coffee is, as I'm sure you know or will soon find out, a very complex thing.  Being able to parse its unique characteristics into distinct tastes can be hard, but with practice, anyone can do it.

The Weights Themselves

Each rank gets a 5% addition to the baseline.  Or in plain English, for each rank increase, your opinion is worth 5% more than before. Here's a table:

and so on.  There's no maximum, so if you want to be a blending master, you have the power.
