Why we love this pack

Our starter pack of Detour essentials is a great way to taste 3 of our most popular coffees across a spectrum of flavour profiles and origins. This 3 coffee selection is a great introduction to Detour’s approach to roasting and sourcing coffee. The set includes 3 year-round favourites Punch Buggy, Bottleneck, and Bouncy Castle which feature a variety of tasting notes and roast styles.

What's in the Pack?


Punch Buggy - Like the classic VW beetle, Punch Buggy is unique, friendly, and suits all occasions. As Detour’s flagship coffee, this blend is built around the love of coffees from the Cachoeira da Grama farm in Brazil; Punch Buggy maintains a Brazil base while rotating fresh, vibrant seasonal Central American coffees through the blend. We love it for its rich and balanced profile, with sugar browning aromatics leading to a syrupy texture and sweet notes of deep chocolate, hazelnut and cherry.

Bottleneck -Bottleneck is sweet and balanced with sugar-browning aromatics, leading to a creamy texture and smooth, comforting notes of fig and toffee.  Built around the love of an everyday, approachable, and easy-drinking filter coffee, Bottleneck typically combines coffees from Colombia, Guatemala, and Costa Rica—but no origin is ever really off the table! We love it for its attention to balance, creamy texture, and toffee-like sweetness.

Bouncy Castle - Built on our love of African coffees, this coffee is bright, buoyant, and makes us happy! Bouncy Castle typically showcases a single-origin washed Ethiopian coffee but is open to any sparkly coffees as long as there’s something vibrant, sweet, and fun in the flavour. We love it for its floral aromatics, tea-like texture, fruit-forward acidity, and sweet, juicy finish.

 

All bags are 300-grams each. Detour coffees are sold as whole beans only.

This has become my go to

We have these beans pretty much dialed in and is the taste we judge other coffee’s. We find it very similar to propeller outbound, firebat espresso but punch buggy is consistently smoother.

The perfect at home espresso

Punch Buggy is my default at home espresso, it always tastes amazing and has a high tolerance for machine miscalibrations. Realistically I do not have the time or patience to dial my machine as often as I would like, but Punch Buggy seems to not care - always delivering me a pleasant cup of espresso. 🤎

So smooth and delish

Punch Buggy is always a great option. No matter how you brew - pour over, espresso machine, french press - you always end up with an incredible cup (or three)

Delicious

I am new to making my own coffee at home so I have been trying with different beans. This is the first one that I found to enjoy very much.
