Verve "Sermon" at SightGlass in SF is the BOMB!

Thick. Sweet. Smooth. Caramel. Chocolate. Apricot. Loves a long pull. Good sweet spot.
Now my absolute fav espresso.

Apparently this particular Sermon blend is special for them

Check out Sight Glass kiosk on 7th St between Folsom and Howard while they build their HUGE coffee bar next door....

Er, what? They told you they got a different coffee but it was called The Sermon? Have you had it in Capitola?

Er...
The coffee/espresso Sight Glass is pulling is from Verve - blend is called "Sermon." Apparently tweaked a tiny bit just for Sight Glass.
I have not had it anywhere else. I have not had Verve anywhere else.
This is all I know.
Just saying it kicks ass.

Cool. FYI, the Verve cafe in Capitola (down by Santa Cruz) is definitely worth a visit.

The current Sermon is the most fruity they've had in a while, and delicious indeed. I personally like it as a normale, using 16 grams for just under two ounces in thirty seconds (including a six-second preinfusion).

Best,
