PRODUCTION ASSOCIATE
Detour Coffee was born in 2009 in a back alleyway in Dundas, Ontario. As one of Canada’s earliest specialty coffee roasters, the brand was built on the idea that coffee can be more than just morning fuel. Whether it’s sourcing, roasting, brewing, or tasting, coffee should be fun. While good coffee means something different to everyone, to us, it means friendly coffees that have the potential to transform a daily routine into moments to look forward to.
While Detour has grown to become one of Canada’s largest specialty coffee roasters, we continue to operate with the product and people first focus we have since the beginning. We are excited to be hiring a Production member as we continue to grow. They will help in our mission to get freshly roasted coffee to our customers as soon as possible, while also contributing to our ethos that ‘making coffee is fun.’
