As longer days and golden hours take hold, coffee roaster Sightglass Coffee is ready for the summer season with the debut of its summer solstice collection. The limited-time seasonal blend, Summer Solstice 2025, is crafted for long days and golden light, with a medium roast and blackberry, guava, and honeysuckle notes. This year’s fruit-forward blend combines silky, washed Ethiopian heirloom coffee from Worka Chelbessa and lush, naturally processed Bourbon from Huye, Rwanda. This medium roast coffee blend is perfect for slow summer mornings or sun-drenched afternoons and is available in three sizes: 12 ounces, 2lb, or 5 lb bags.

The summer solstice coffee can be purchased independently or in one of three brand-new, thoughtfully curated coffee sets to pair with the season’s slower pace and brighter mood. While these roasts can be enjoyed in any of your favorite brewing forms, Sightglass recommends trying them over ice to highlight the floral, tropical notes, using a simple iced V60 brewing method.

The summer solstice collection lineup features three ways to savor the season, which include:

  • Carry the Sunset ($72): Tailor-made for spontaneous road trips, early markets, or afternoons in the park, this bundle includes the radiant Summer Solstice blend, a sleek Fellow Carter Move Mug, and Sightglass’s sunny Sun-Buddy Tote. Equal parts functional and feel-good, it’s a go-to carryall for wherever the sun takes you.
  • Summer Favorites Set ($52): A trio that captures the many moods of the season—sunny, spirited, and surprising. This set includes the bright and expressive Summer Solstice, the smooth and balanced Toketee, and the bold, fruit-forward Owls’ Howl—a signature roast known for its depth and complexity.
  • Long Days Set ($35): This set is perfect for lingering mornings and afternoons. It pairs the limited Summer Solstice with Organic Toketee, a staple roast that’s smooth, easy-drinking, and endlessly versatile.

Dry vs. wet cappuccino: What your order says about your coffee style
Differences in texture, taste, and more
cappuccino

A cappuccino is one of my favorite espresso drinks. It offers the perfect balance between espresso flavor and just the right bit of creaminess. Even though I've ordered this drink hundreds of times, I recently discovered variations of it that I didn't even know existed. Coffee drinkers already get a bad reputation for having the most complex orders, but what does it mean if you order a dry or wet cappuccino? Both drinks start with espresso, but the difference between these two has to do with the milk texture. Below, this cappuccino guide breaks down the difference between a dry vs. wet cappuccino and who should order these specialty variations.
