Our Banner Dark Blend is meant to appeal to those who enjoy a deeper, richer flavor. Dark chocolate and brown sugar meet rich undertones of vanilla and maple, with a heavier body and lower acidity in the cup.

    Phenomenal

    I’ve tried hundreds of coffees. This is my absolute go to. Smooth and dark, perfect balance. I do both hot and cold brew which is rare because I’ve never found a coffee I like both ways. If like a smooth dark without all the brightness and acidity from the light roasts but at the same time delivers fantastic flavor then try it out.

    Delish

    Makes a great cappuccino, my hubs makes me one every morning and I look forward to getting up! The bean is very rich and full bodied and the acid is well balanced! I love receiving freshly roasted beans in the mail regularly, I can’t get them that fresh at the grocery store!

    It's just strong

    I love dark coffee, and I love strong coffee. Banner Dark is both. But I also love flavorful, rich coffee. Unfortunately Banner Dark is neither. It smells fantastic. But unfortunately the taste is just bitter and strong. Definitely not what I expected... Or wanted

FAQ

How many cups of coffee are in a bag?

Using the recipe that we use in-store, 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 or for two people to enjoy in a week and a half


Each 5LB bag makes 113 cups of coffee - just the right amount for one person to use in 8 weeks or for two people to enjoy in a month

How does the Banner Dark compare with your Owl’s Howl Espresso blend? Is it stronger? I have a Moccamaster and I’m looking for a coffee with low acidity.

Our Owl's Howl is a bright and fruity espresso, with balanced acidity. Our Banner Dark has a lot of body, with almost no acidity. They're equal in "strength", i.e. have the same amount of caffeine, but if you're looking for an offering with low acidity, Banner Dark is your best option.

How long does Sightglass 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.

Where should I store my coffee? In the freezer? On the counter?

Grind only the amount of coffee you plan to brew and store the remainder in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight, heat, and sources of humidity. Avoid putting your coffee in the refrigerator or freezer.
