From the editors
This lot is no longer available at the roaster.
We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 197 days ago. It now returns a not-found or members-only response, so we’ve archived the buy link rather than send anyone to a dead page. The notes, sensory chart, and editorial context below remain useful as a record of what this lot offered.

Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 23% of the signal universe on file. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 80.0 shrunk to 67.3 = 67.

Well-regarded· sentiment 80/100
Four independent Reddit threads give Detour Coffee a favorable but mixed picture. Three contributors praised a four-year subscription, strong overall quality, and Punch Buggy espresso, while one buyer found a single-origin bag underwhelming and sour.

I’ve been on a detour subscription for the past 4 years for my espresso. Never a bad bag.
- r/espresso · 21↑ · Any Canadians on here have recommendations for roasters that ship here?
Detour from Hamilton is also really good! Up there with Pilot for quality.

I’ve tried Detour (local to me) 49th and Pilot and I personally prefer Detour. Have gone through a few bags of their Punch Buggy Espresso now and I enjoy every cup I make with it!
- r/Coffee · 6↑ · Is my brewing technique shit or am I just basic
...ood rating on Amazon, kicking horse coffee, and that was a pretty good improvement on what I was drinking before. Recently I bought some single orgin coffee from detour and was rather underwhelmed. It didn't taste bad but was more sour than I wanted. I tried to grind finer but that started tasting burnt. I couldn't

Cherrybook summary of the video
This video features Emma from Detour Coffee Roasters providing a technical breakdown of how to dial in coffee brewing. She explains the impact of grind size, coffee-to-water ratio, and extraction, while demonstrating a cupping exercise to illustrate these concepts.
Inside this video
From Julie for Daily Tiramisu:
“Coffee is a recipe like baking. So, the main things as a barista that you have control over are grind size and the ratio of coffee to water.”
“That aromatic experience tells us that it's going to have a lot to offer when we're actually drinking it as well.”
