Coffee Cup Scoring Standards

Coffee Cup Scoring Dimensions

Weights are calibrated to match the distribution of negative feedback for coffee cups, with durability assigned the highest weight as it represents 40% of all consumer complaints. Complaint rate follows closely to prioritize avoiding common defects such as poor heat retention and mismarked capacity, while authentic praise and recommend rate are weighted lower as they are secondary satisfaction indicators rather than core functional requirements.

Weight Distribution

Dimension	Weight	What It Means
Complaint Avoidance	30%	Lower complaint rate → higher score
Authentic Praise	20%	More specific praise → higher score
Durability	35%	Better long-term reliability → higher score
Would Recommend	15%	Higher “would buy again” rate → higher score
