Why some details are blank
  • harvestSightglass does not publish a harvest date or crop year for this release; another roaster’s Malaki lot is not assumed to be identical.
  • fermentationSightglass identifies the coffee as washed but does not publish the release’s fermentation duration or conditions.
  • dryingSightglass does not publish the release’s drying method or duration.
  • variety proportionsSL28 and SL34 are listed without percentages.
  • formal gradeSightglass does not publish an AA, AB, PB, or other formal grade.
  • bag-specific roast dateThe coffee is roasted to order, but a bag-specific roast date is not available before purchase.
  • producer duplicateA second Florence-and-Jessica producer record remains in the database and needs a controlled merge; this coffee and Malaki Estate now point to the same richer canonical record.

From the producer

Florence Mukuhi Marigi and her daughter Jessica manage their family’s Malaki Estate in Githunguri, Kiambu County. Sightglass identifies them as the producers of this 1,900-meter washed SL28-and-SL34 lot.

From the roaster

Sightglass Coffee is a roaster that offers a rotating selection of single-origin coffees through their curated subscription series.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A high-elevation, family-estate Kenyan coffee from a mother-daughter producer team that has retained traditional Kenyan selections.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Cleared a stale verification hold

The exact Sightglass page now establishes the core release facts, so the private-verification hold was removed.

02
Completed origin and process links

Linked the existing Kiambu and Washed records while retaining Malaki Estate and Florence & Jessica Marigi.

03
Preserved both listed cultivars

Recorded SL28 and SL34 as component-level varieties without inventing percentages or forcing a single variety ID.

04
Corrected the producer relationship

Pointed Malaki Estate to the richer producer record already used by this coffee; the older duplicate producer record remains for later merge handling.

What was added?

Kiambu/Githunguri geography, 1,900 m elevation, SL28 and SL34 components, washed process, Light-Medium roast, $28.50/12 oz sold-out commerce, and official brew guidance.

What wasn't added?

No exact harvest, fermentation duration, drying duration, formal grade, owner score, owner tasting observation, verdict, approval, or independent public sentiment score was inferred.

Why it matters

The public profile now reflects the exact Sightglass listing while keeping same-estate details from another roaster from being misapplied to this release.

What you might taste

Nectarine, boysenberry, and elderflower according to Sightglass.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-28) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Cherrybook’s 74 is explicitly an evidence-coverage index, not a cup score. Its Reddit signal concerns Sightglass generally and different coffees, so it was excluded. Same-estate releases from other roasters were also excluded from exact-release sentiment.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
