Sightglass - Ethiopia Guji - Aeropress

Jay's brother's girlfriend decided to trek down to San Francisco. An ardent supporter of our coffee snobbery, and our blog (she gave us some start up funds, in the form of a $5 bill), she generously sought out some good coffee for us while she was down there, which turned out to be Sightglass, which has turned out consistently solid coffee in our past reviews. Not only that, but the roast date was also Jay's mother's birthday, so we figured we were in for a treat! Thanks, Tori!


It had a good amount of bloom, as you can see below.


Tasting notes: Super-bright tangy citrus, grapefruit tones, while amazingly light body and juicy, rounding out with some black current fruit on the end. Further cooling reveals chocolate, candy tones and more sweetness. Real enjoyable and not too rich, as can occur with some African or Indonesian coffees.

Jay's rating: 8.5
Brent's rating: 8
