Roasts to order
Your bag is roasted after you order; expect a short delay before it ships, but it arrives as fresh as the roaster can make it.

Confidence45% coverage / 4 of 7 signals
Enough independent signal to score at face value; no shrinkage applied. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 0% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

Sightglass is widely recognized as a high-quality, specialty roaster known for their light roast profiles. They are frequently mentioned alongside other respected roasters and are praised for their customer service and consistent quality. While some users have encountered challenges dialing in specific beans or extracting subtle notes, these are framed as personal brewing hurdles rather than criticisms of the coffee itself.
