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 really 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 bean only.

First Time Buyer

This was my first time ordering from DETOUR and I am very impressed with their beans. Roasted within a week of delivery, they very fresh and aromatic and come in high quality packaging. The only minor concern I have is their shipping which took almost 2 weeks to reach me here in Toronto with a carrier I have never heard about before. I could not track the package as there was no info about status updates or anything.

My daily driver

I have tried pretty much every roaster in the GTA area and keep coming back to Punch Buggy. Love the taste, and complexity of flavour.

Smooth and Flavourful!

We love Punch Buggy Espresso. We don't drink it as Espresso but rather Americano or Misto or Cappacuno. Always nice smooth yet rich coffee taste!

Dreamy Coffee

The best coffee ever !

I use a Breville espresso machine and follow the brewing instructions provided for this blend.

The results: Hama hamana hamana ! The best Cappuccinos & Lattes! I can't enjoy coffee when I go out anymore, it's just SO good at home :)

Great job on that blend!
