Sight Glass to come?

One year feels very short but long enough to make a big change. 

"SIGHT GLASS " has "re-opened" fully with modern and simple, but warm and earthy feelings all together. 

 It was the last September that took a sip of the very first cup right next to SIGHT GLASS sign.  It was the last September that the windows were covered for construction but there were not much progress found in spacious room beside the roaster…  Here we are now, we all see “Sight Glass" Coffee bar and Roastery!! 

 

The historical German roasting machine is there as I saw on last visit in 2010, working diligently with an enthusiastic roaster, who might be called " the third wave mafia" who carries typical posture of SF coffee geeks.

Brew bar is equipped with Hario ceramic dripper.  I couldn’t check espresso machine this time, but I am sure that they carries the same machine before the grand opening.  It is funny to find out that most third wavers of SF/South bay are settled in equipments with same brand name among all the others.

 

For the next step, the Morrison brothers, Jerald and Justin, will opens brew bars and espresso bars on loft, which you can see in the picture on right.  When we were there, both Jerald and Justin told us about their plan, which I am looking forward to see and wishing to be the first one to have a seat there with them.  Mybe, they will be crazy busy by then, because we found the press setting up their camera for shooting.  Whatever happens, we believe both Jerald and Justin will be as friendly and enthusiastic as they are now. 

If there is a space to make a request, I would like to place one for “food & pastry” developments…  I know they buy them from the doughnuts shop, very popular one around that area.  I basically think they are not bad, but, at the same time, find a little room to work on.  Taste of Sight Glass might deserve something better: something more simple and plane to create better harmony, or flavor.  It is maybe because I am not doughnuts person.  It may be because I am not one with sweet tooth.  On top of all, I still think they might hire, or contract with, someone who can create, develop, special treats for Sight Glass…
