Fellow's Take on Sightglass Banner Dark | Brew Recipe

Here's how we brewed this rich and deeply flavorful blend roasted in San Francisco by Sightglass Coffee.

SF’s Sightglass is a staple at Fellow HQ with their consistently tasty offerings. They chose sweet, full-bodied coffees for this blend which respond well to a dark roast, without compromising their nuanced flavors. We tasted cocoa, toffee, graham cracker, and a sweet, lasting finish.
