Are you really roasting to order?
Yes! We roast your coffee after you order to guarantee you receive it at peak freshness. On rare occasions, we may have small batches of pre-roasted coffee available—this is always clearly indicated on the product page under the roasting schedule section. Either way, you're getting exceptionally fresh coffee.
How is your 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.
This is by far the best espresso I've found. I avoids the harshness of many other roasts and just pairs perfectly with milk for Lattes and Cortados. I use a Lelit Bianca and Eureka Grinder and Owl's Howl has become my exclusive coffee.

the best
We were sightglass cafe fans and would pick up a bag of coffee to make at home most visits. The espresso was usually a favorite so we started to get that regularly. It works in our drip machine SO well and makes great espresso so it became our goto and then we got on the subscription so for a few years now owls howl is my daily cup whichever way we choose.

Fantastic everyday espresso blend
Owl’s Howl is one of our favorite household blends, with a perfect roast level, easy to dial in, and a versatility for all types of espresso based drinks. My wife called me while driving to work to tell me how good her coffee was! Will be buying more.
