your detour starts in hamilton, which isn't the most obvious place to build one of canada's most quietly serious roasting operations, but here we are. detour coffee roasters works with canada specialty coffee to source beans that actually taste like somewhere, and their roasts don't hide behind milk or syrup to make a point. the cup is clean, a little bright, occasionally stone-fruity in a way that catches you off guard. hamilton's lucky to have them.
