Broad comparison: 15th percentile of 33 natural blend lots (other named varieties, retail bags); across markets in stock right now.

This group broadens origin, roast or selling market to find enough lots. It does not qualify this coffee for a value recommendation.

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.

Enough independent signal to score at face value; no shrinkage applied.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 41% 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 0% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

These are short excerpts from third-party buyer reviews published on this product page. 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%.

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.
