How this estimate works
A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with these listed attributes typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock listing in the comparison group, with at least 15 listings from three roasters and no roaster supplying more than 60% of it. Decaf, blends, variety segments, processing families and bag formats stay separate. Origin, roast and selling currency can broaden as the group label indicates. Prices are converted to USD per ounce; shipping and differences in tax treatment are not adjusted. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.
Some listing details are missing or have limited model coverage, so the typical band shown is wider than usual.

Sparse signal
Confidence2 of 7 signals on file
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 78.9 shrunk to 66.6 = 67.

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.

I’ve been on a detour subscription for the past 4 years for my espresso. Never a bad bag.

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.”
