    Ethiopia Perfect

    This single source bean is a joy to brew each morning. 18.2g, 3 ground size/14sec amount, 23-24 sec extraction, velvety textured milk—my wife and I are in caffeine

    heaven. Mild with a ton of flavor. Thanks for a great coffee

    Coffee

    Very happy with sightglass coffee overall. Great taste, smooth, with fine flavors. The Worka Chelbessa Ethiopian is great and the Miss Abalulesa is even better. Unfortunately, one of my bags broke open during shipping. Normally I don’t like to complain, but I’ve been watching a lot of Curb Your Enthusiasm lately, and I feel like my hero Larry David would at least mention it. I can still get my 15% off, right sightglass?

    My favorite so far

    I love everything about this coffee...it's organic, single origin and delicious. It's got all the features I like in a coffee. So, thank you for having this and I hope it stays around for a long, long time. I've kissed a lot of frogs looking for the richness and floral notes and great aftertase on my tongue that this gives me...
