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.

Cherrybook Index (CBI)

Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

74

Noted

Preliminary

Confidence3 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 38% 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 5% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 80.9 shrunk to 79.3 + bonuses = 74.

Great gentle blend
“After mixing my own half caffeine blend for a while I tried this premixed version and I’m happy I did. While more expensive than my previous setup the results are worth it. 💫”

Storefronts may moderate reviews, and verification or incentive labels appear only when the provider supplies them. Their ratings are already represented in the aggregate above and are not counted again in Cherrybook Index.

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%.

About Detour Coffee Roasters

Community reputation · Reddit

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.

This video covers Detour Coffee Roasters; it is general roaster coverage.

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.”
