Cherrybook Index (CBI)
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
73
Noted
Preliminary
Confidence2 of 7 signals on file
Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50; read directionally until more source families land.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 33% 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 18% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 84.4 shrunk to 78.4 + bonuses = 73.

How ratings count toward the Index
To count toward Cherrybook Index, an aggregate must come from a supported source, match this product, include at least 5 ratings, and have been refreshed within 90 days. Its weight is 12% for 5–24 ratings, 15% for 25–99, or 18% for 100 or more. Higher tiers require another base signal; a ratings-only lot stays at 12%.

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.

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!

...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
