Air-roasted for smooth, clean flavor. No burnt bitterness. Naturally low-acid and gentle on sensitive stomachs. Voted #1 Coffee in Minnesota two years in a row. The only coffee that beat Caribou and Dunn Brothers.

Works for drip brewers, espresso machines, and pour-overs. Small batch roasted for maximum freshness. Free 4oz sample with no commitment, just cover shipping. Zero gimmicks. Just damn good coffee.

Start with a 1:16 ratio, 1 gram of coffee to 16 grams of water. That's the sweet spot for balanced flavor and body. Pour-over and drip stay close to 1:16. Go 1:15 for more richness, or 1:17 for a lighter cup.

French press does well a little stronger at 1:14 to 1:15. AeroPress can go tighter too, around 1:12 to 1:15. Use filtered water, grind fresh, and drink it right after brewing.

Air roasting uses clean, hot air to roast each bean evenly. You get a smoother, cleaner flavor without the bitterness or burnt taste that comes from traditional drum roasting. No hot metal contact means no smoky aftertaste.

It's a gentler process that brings out what's actually in the bean. The origin flavors and nuanced notes that heavy roasting covers up.

Use whatever you’ve got. Ember plays nice with drip brewers, espresso machines, pour-overs, French presses, AeroPresses—even that one weird machine your cousin gave you. If it brews coffee, you're good.

We ship fast—like, faster-than-a-kid-after-coffee fast. Your order goes out in 1–2 biz days and you’ll get tracking so you can obsessively refresh your inbox like the rest of us.

Unless you’re drinking it on an empty stomach while sprinting a marathon… probably not. Ember is naturally low-acid, smooth as jazz, and roasted to be kind to your gut. No fire. No bitterness. No regrets. And while we’re not doctors, we’ve had literally hundreds of people call, email, DM, and shout from rooftops telling us Ember is the only coffee they can drink without getting heartburn, acid reflux, or stomach drama.

We want to earn your coffee loyalty the right way—by blowing your mind with how good our beans are. If we do our job, you’ll come back. And if not? You still got a killer cup of coffee for a few bucks shipping. We’re not some giant chain—and we’re not in the Twin Cities. Which means we rely on awesome humans like you to help us spread the word. If you love it, tell your friends. Post it. Text it. Shout it from your porch. You help us grow, we keep the great coffee flowing.

We knew this was coming. Yes, you’ll get the chance to order more—without selling your soul or signing up for a weird monthly mystery box. We’ll make it easy (and extra tasty) to re-up. And if you’re anything like most first-time sippers, you’ll want to lock it in. Grab a subscription and you’ll score 10% off everything, always. No hassle, no pressure—just better mornings on autopilot.

We're just outside the Twin Cities in Big Lake, Minnesota—just up Highway 10 on your way to St. Cloud (or the cabin). Come visit our flagship coffeeshop and roastery.

Ember Coffee

We didn’t set out to be the loudest voice in coffee. Just the most thoughtful. Ember grew from a simple belief: that great coffee should feel personal:

  • specialty-grade, air roasted
  • never bitter, never burnt
  • low acid, gentle on the stomach
  • refined, yet approachable
  • quietly exceptional

What started in a small Minnesota town became a beloved ritual across the North. Through fresh roasting, honest sourcing, and a whole lot of heart, we’ve built something people come back to—again and again.

For some, it’s the first coffee they could drink black. For others, it’s the surprise in their mailbox each month. Everyone has a story about how Ember fits into their day — and we’re honored to be part of it.

I've been trying to wean myself off of cream in my coffee for weight loss but could not bear to drink black coffee because of the bitter taste. Thanks to the smooth, delicious flavor of Ember I can now enjoy a cup of BLACK coffee with no calories!

I loved getting a mystery bag! The Peru roast I received is not one I would have chosen for myself but absolutely love it and will be in my rotation from here on out. It has great bold flavor without being bitter!

Caramel Bourbon is my favorite Ember coffee.
I love the rich flavor yet smooth and most importantly for me is NO heartburn or acid reflux which I'm prone to. This customer will never drink Folgers again.

My daughter and I really like the smooth taste of this coffee. This is our first time trying this flavor. We will keep purchasing it in the future. We recommend it.

The young lion was very good although l would personally like something a bit stronger but not quite dark roast.
I do love that it is low acid!!

This is the best cold brew bean and coffee 1 have found! I followed the suggestion with a 1:4 (coffee: water) ratio. It was the perfect ratio and turned out great.

Air Roasted

Ember Coffee air-roasts every small batch using superheated air—never fire. This method was pioneered by Michael Sivetz in the 1960s. We're using science to improve your cup.

This means no burnt aftertaste, no harsh acidity, and no stomach pain. Just clean, balanced flavor that coffee lovers and sensitive stomachs agree on. The difference? You’ll notice it by your third sip.
