Perfecting Your Brew with Ember Coffee Pods

Why Ember Coffee Pods Are Different

If you’re used to conventional pods, you’ll notice right away that Ember Coffee pods are fuller, richer, and more aromatic. That’s because we pack them with 30% more coffee than the standard pods you find at big-box stores. We also use specialty-grade beans—sourced at nearly twice the cost of conventional brands—to ensure every sip is smooth, balanced, and bursting with flavor.

Brewing Tips for the Best Experience

Because Ember Coffee pods contain more coffee, you may need to adjust your brewing method for the perfect extraction:

Use the Normal Setting – Skip the "strong" or "robust" settings you might use for weaker pods. Our pods are designed to deliver a bold, full-bodied cup without extra adjustments.

Match Your Cup Size – If you're brewing a 12 oz cup, set your Keurig to 12 oz instead of trying to force a stronger brew in a smaller setting.

Enjoy the Smooth, Low-Acidity Experience – Many of our customers find that our coffee doesn’t upset their stomach like conventional coffee. That’s thanks to our air-roasting process, which reduces acidity and enhances the natural flavors of the beans.

What Makes Ember Coffee Special?

Air Roasting for a Smoother Taste – Instead of traditional drum roasting, we use superheated air to roast our beans evenly, giving them a clean, balanced flavor with less bitterness.

Coffee with a Purpose – Every purchase supports our mission to do good in the world. A portion of the proceeds from our Deliverance Blend helps fight human trafficking and supports marginalized communities in the U.S., India, and Ukraine.
