Air Roasted For Smooth Flavor

Roasts and Ships Within Days

Experience the warmth of the Midwest in every cup with our 10,000 Lakes K-Pods. Crafted in Big Lake, Minnesota, this medium roast blend features rich chocolate and buttery caramel notes, delivering a smooth, balanced brew without the bitterness of darker roasts. Sourced from premium Central and South American beans, it’s perfect for your morning routine or an afternoon pause.

Designed for K-Cup brewers, each pod offers a convenient and flavorful way to enjoy Ember’s signature roast—rooted in Minnesota pride and small-batch precision.

For the best Keurig cup, use the Strong setting and brew 6–8 oz. Our roast is built for balance, and a smaller cup size brings out better flavor and body. If you can, use filtered water, and enjoy it right after brewing (a quick water-only rinse first helps too).

Air roasting uses clean, hot air to roast each coffee bean evenly—resulting in a smoother, cleaner flavor without the bitterness or burnt taste you get from traditional drum roasting. Because the beans don’t sit on hot metal, there's no smoky aftertaste—just pure, nuanced notes. It’s a gentler process that lets the bean’s true character shine.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s all in the roast. While most coffee is drum-roasted, which means the beans are scorched as they come in contact with the hot sides of the metal drum. In contrast, we use superheated air for heat transfer—a method used by less than 1% of roasters worldwide. It delivers smoother, more balanced flavor with zero burnt bitterness.

Our air-roasting process reduces acidity and eliminates that harsh, burnt bitterness found in most coffees. That means no gut-bomb effect, no acid reflux, and no regret after your second cup. Even customers who’ve sworn off coffee come back for Ember.

Crazy fresh. We roast in small batches right here in Minnesota and ship quickly—so your beans haven’t been sitting on a shelf for months losing flavor. You’ll taste the difference the moment you open the bag. Plus we stamp our bags with the roast date, not the "best buy" date. Note: Most coffees actually improve in taste in the two weeks following its roast date. If you receive a bag that was roasted 7-10 days from your date of order, we've likely held it to allow for off-gassing and maximum flavor.

We believe great coffee starts at the source. That’s why we build direct trade relationships with farmers who care as much as we do. Better pay for them, better beans for you, and a whole lot more integrity in your cup.

Yes, yes, and yes. Whether you’re team drip, AeroPress, Chemex, or full-on espresso, Ember’s roasts are engineered to perform across all brew methods without losing flavor, depth, or smoothness.

Because once you taste coffee that’s roasted right, sourced right, and doesn’t wreck your stomach… it’s game over for the grocery store brands and chain coffee shops. Ember becomes the new standard.
