Back by popular demand, our best-selling Winter Solstice blend is a celebration of the longest night of the year. Inspired by cozy December days spent in front of a roaring fire, this seasonal blend emanates warmth through its velvety notes of chocolate truffle, marzipan, and blackberry. We deeply roast the finest coffees from Colombia and Kenya to enhance the natural brightness of the beans, for a rich flavor that only comes once a year. We hope that you love it as much as we do. Happy Holidays.

    Must-buy when it's available

    Well-balanced. I drink it using the pour-over. No need to use any milk. Will buy it again later this year when it's offered again.

    Mild, not boring

    A nicely balanced coffee. Doesn't claim to be the most robust, and it doesn't need to be. Really smooth, with nice hints of chocolate. Great morning cup!

    Rich Espresso

    This made a nice pour over but a even nicer espresso shot. Very rich and velvety.

    Favorite Blend!

    It was exciting to see that the Winter Solstice blend was back. I definitely enjoyed it, I brewed on the chemex, v60, clever dripper, and the Kalita 185. The flavor notes were spot on, starting with blackberry, chocolate, and a marzipan after taste.

    Good but not great

    I wanted to like this more but the flavor profile just wasn’t there for me regardless of brew style. It’s a good coffee still.

FAQ

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.

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
