I admit it; I am a coffee snob. After living in France for a few years, I just cannot bear the taste of weak coffee. I grind my own beans and use an upscale espresso maker for my morning coffee, When I read about Sightglass, I was skeptical to say the least, but I figured I would try the sample pack. Wow, was I pleasantly surprised. It is delicious, and it tastes like brewed/drip coffee. What a treat to be able to heat up some water and have a cup without any muss or fuss. Thank you, Sightglass. Great job!

Yummy! I hadn’t realized that instant coffee could be this delicious. Also, with cream, it was even better.

Hey, it’s really coffee!
Wow, did this ever exceed our expectations! We usually brew a nice pot of coffee, and this was really good by those standards. I plan to buy more and always have it on hand, both to drink/serve at home and to take on the road. We have never had instant coffee that tastes like it was brewed!

FAQ
How is our Coffee sourced?
The production of exceptional coffees is a collaborative, meticulous and multi-faceted effort. All coffees are sourced in freshly harvested lots through direct relationships with producers and cooperatives committed to quality and sustainable business practices.
We travel to origin throughout the year, exploring new coffee sources, checking in with cherished producers, and offering premiums for quality. The long-standing partnerships we nurture are built upon trust—trust that our producers will convey to us what they need to thrive and trust that we will do everything we can to support them. Visit Our Company page to learn more about our sourcing practices.
Are all your Coffees organic?
Most of the coffee that we source annually is certified Organic. These coffees go into classic blends like Blueboon, Toketee, Owl's Howl, Banner Dark, Crown Point, and Hunky Dory.
On our single origin menu, Worka Chelbessa from the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia is certified Organic. We purchase other single origin coffees yearly with Organic certifications but are often sold as conventional coffees.
How long does your Coffee stay fresh?
Sightglass coffee tastes best up to six weeks after the roast date printed on the back of the sealed bag. Once opened, we recommend you use the coffee within two weeks for optimal freshness. Coffee will taste best when ground immediately before brewing.
How many cups are in a bag?
Using the recipe that we use in our café, each 12oz bag makes 17 cups of coffee: just the right amount for one person to use in two weeks or for a pair of coffee drinkers to enjoy in a week.
Each 2LB bag makes 45 cups of coffee - just the right amount for one person to use in 3 weeks for two people.
Each 5LB bag makes 113 cups of coffee - just the right amount for one person to use in 8 weeks for two people.
