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.

    #BannerDark-isterrific!

    First ‘dark blend’ I’ve ever had…..and it might be my last. I love it! No need to look for anything else. I’ve told so many friends to try it and have shared it with neighbors. They love it too.

    Over the years while living in the Bay Area, I’ve had other SightGlass blends and truly enjoyed all of them. Now I live on the East Coast and when the SightGlass box arrives in the mail my day immediately gets better. Banner Dark is my personal favorite. $22.00 of happiness!

    First off, I am a noob at espresso making. I got a subscription from trade coffee and discovered this particular coffee bean. Myself and the household loved this bean so much that I went and bought it again from the sight glass website. It's definitely a winner and will purchase again if I want to splurge on coffee beans.

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 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.
