I spy a great cup

Curator's Notes

Coming soon!Sightglass Coffee began in 2009 with a leaky espresso machine behind a roll-up door in an old San Francisco warehouse. Two siblings, one dream, and an unflinching commitment to quality. Today, Sightglass operates two roasteries, four flagship cafes, and over 500 wholesale accounts nationwide, and has quietly become one of the top coffee producers in the world. All of their coffees are USDA Certified Organic, sourced directly from smallholder farms whose commitment to sustainable, freshly harvested coffee matches their own. Small-batch roasting, meticulous attention to detail, and a San Francisco independent spirit that has never wavered. In the cup, expect beautifully crafted, organically sourced coffees with real elegance and a distinctly Californian soul.

"I think this coffee holds up to scrutiny - the flavor profile was stellar, and easy to extract."

"Big fan! I think the flavor profile extracts wonderfully for a flat white or latte, and, as an espresso, 10/10."
PETE 03/31/2026
★★★★★
"Great flavor profile. Light and fruity, perfect for the cool early spring mornings."
JO 03/04/2026
★★★★★
"It's between a 4 or 5 but I gave it 5, smooth, clean and opening the bag noticed some citrus and has a sweet taste. That is one of 3 bags in the order from this roaster and I like this one and I don't brew coffee on the stronger side, watching the caffeine."
TIMOTHY 02/23/2026
★★★★★
"Perfect latte with no bitter edge. The bean flavor comes through beautifully. Extracts with a lovely crema and aroma. A moka pot grind delivers the best results. "

★★★★★
"Very unique flavored coffee. I picked sweet citrus and floral notes. I'd have this again "
COURTNEY 01/13/2026
★★★★★
"Love the flavor! I did order two bags and unfortunately I had to recalibrate my machine even though they are the same bean? Other than that this bean has a delicious flavor profile."
JAMIE 09/15/2025
★★★★★
"This is one of my favorites. It has a rich cozy flavor, not too bitter. Great as drip or pour over medium for any regular coffee drinker. "

"Really good"
JAMES 06/02/2025

"It's a light roast decaf. But medium roased. It actually tastes almost like a washed gesha. I'm not exaggerating one gram either. Hunky dory decaf is absolutely top notch. I like my decaf to be more fruity and sweet and floral. Hunky here has all that and chocolate flavours in the background. A really really great espresso drink. I steam/forth oat milk and it pairs like God and heaven. The best lighter decaf I've gotten from bean box so far.!!!!! By far!!!!!!! "
