The Kamwangi Coffee Factory is situated in Kirinyaga county, a renowned coffee-producing region in Kenya. Since its establishment in 1983, Kamwangi has become a hub for over 1500 small-holder producers who supply the facility with ripe coffee cherries. The farms supporting Kamwangi are located on the southern slope of Mt. Kenya. Kirinyaga county boasts optimal conditions for coffee cultivation. These farms benefit from the nutrient-rich red soils of the region and have a constant supply of fresh water from streams and tributaries flowing down the mountain throughout the year.

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.
