Central America & East Africa/VaryingWhile components and flavors change seasonally, our flagship Owl's Howl Espresso invariably delivers a balanced, and refined espresso experience. It’s simple: excellent coffee depends on the quality and freshness of green coffee. Like any other fresh crop, coffee eventually stales, losing vibrancy, complexity and sweetness.
From Coffee Review (evaluated as Espresso):
"Crisply chocolaty, sweet and nutty. Baking chocolate, kumquat, cashew, orange zest, fresh oak in aroma and cup. Crisp, velvety-smooth mouthfeel. Briskly sweet-tart finish with fresh oak undertones. In cappuccino format, baking chocolate blooms and commingles with sweet cashew notes. A friendly, easygoing espresso, especially chocolaty in cappuccino format."
Rating: 91/100
Our Owl's Howl espresso is a medium roast. It's a bright and fruity espresso with a blend of chocolate, fruit and balanced acidity.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
