    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The quoted text explicitly describes that cold roasted coffee is pounded in a mortar or ground in a hand-mill to a coarse powder, exactly as claimed, and this is attributed to Count Rumford's essay on coffee making from the early nineteenth century.
    • qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. All qualifiers are accurate: viewpoint correctly attributes to Count Rumford (explicitly named as the source), stance is correctly 'asserts', sentiment is neutral as appropriate for a technical description, time correctly specifies 'at the beginning of the nineteenth century' matching the passage, and context accurately includes 'to a coarse powder'. The quote is verbatim from the passage and supports the claim. Minor: the normalized dates (1800-1810) are reasonable but slightly narrow given the passage says 'beginning of the nineteenth century' which could extend to ~1815, though this is a minor interpretation variance.
