El Jefe Espresso
This blend combines beans sourced from Colombia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. Balanced and savory, the El Jefe blend carries tasting notes of milk chocolate, molasses, and nostalgia.
We use this blend as our go-to for espresso drinks, lovingly crafted in our coffee shop here in Big Lake, Minnesota. It is a medium-dark roast, which produces a smooth and balanced espresso without the harsh bitterness or burnt taste found in many commercially-produced espressos.
- Ethically sourced. Specialty grade.

Our Story
In 2021, we launched our coffee business and began formulating our unique air roasting process to produce an amazing coffee experience—without the bitterness and harsh acidity found in conventional brands.
Our unique air roasting technology eliminates the burnt residues commonly found in other coffees. It works by isolating the chaff from our specialty green beans while they circulate on a cushion of warm air. This results in a uniformly roasted bean with our distinct smooth and balanced tasted, perfected over time to craft our signature coffees.
True to our roots, Ember Coffee works continues to craft small batches of the highest-quality coffee; sourced ethically to support communities and our planet.
