    Here's the basic espresso recipe that we use in all of our shops:

    Dose: 18-20g of freshly ground espresso

    Yield: 28-32g of brewed espresso

    Time: 28-32 seconds of extraction

    Age: 7-14 days after roast, when our espresso tastes best.

    Brewing Temp: 200-205F


    We would recommend using a lighter dose for fresher coffee (18g for 7 days) and a heavier dose for older coffee (20g for 14 days). This is a general rule, so feel free to play around with it. Most importantly, trust your taste buds and take notes along the way.

    If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to us at orders@sightglasscoffee.com

    Have fun, experiment, and smile often!

      One of the best

      This is our favorite. I worked in Michelin starred restaurants and we used this and haven’t gone back. My husband and I wake up everyday with this espresso and it’s the perfect balance and flavor profile consistently. I don’t like super dark and earthy, my husband does- this has been the balance and it doesn’t falter. Whether in a latte or sipped by itself, there is a beautiful sweet spot this hits. This is the staple espresso of luxury and discerning coffee lovers.

      One of our favorites

      We are expresso cappuccino daily drinkers going way back. This expresso, Owls Howl , starting with the 12ounce bag as a sample, has graduated to the 2lb bag, and is one our rotating favorites.

    FAQ

    Is Sightglass coffee organic?

    Most of the coffee that we source annually is certified Organic. These coffees go into classic blends like Blueboon, Toketee, Owl's Howl, 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.

    What are the brewing instructions for espresso? What is the recommended brewing temperature and extraction time/ratio?

    Here's the basic espresso recipe that we use in all of our shops:


    Dose: 18-20g of freshly ground espresso

    Yield: 28-32g of brewed espresso

    Time: 28-32 seconds of extraction

    Age: 7-14 days after roast, when our espresso tastes best.

    Brewing Temp: 200-205F


    We would recommend using a lighter dose for fresher coffee (18g for 7 days) and a heavier dose for older coffee (20g for 14 days). This is a general rule, so feel free to play around with it. Most importantly, trust your taste buds and take notes along the way.

    If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to us at orders@sightglasscoffee.com


    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 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

    Is Owl's Howl a dark, medium or light roast?

    Our Owl's Howl espresso is light/medium roast. It's a bright and fruity espresso with a blend of chocolate, fruit and balanced acidity.

    Compared to other espressos, it's a good deal lighter than most other roasters.


    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.
