We bring the care of a small-town roastery straight to your kitchen: no shortcuts and no guesswork.

An engraved Ember Coffee Co. scoop

10,000 Lakes is our medium-dark roast blend with rich chocolate and buttery caramel. Easy-drinking and balanced, named for what Minnesota does best.

Bramble is a lighter, fruit-forward East African blend with blackberry, blueberry, and caramel, syrupy enough to hold up as espresso.

The engraved scoop gives you the same measure every morning, so the only thing you change is the coffee.

One bag of each, so yours mornings have a choice.

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.

Our commitment to transparent pricing

Yes, our coffee costs more. Here's exactly where that money goes-and where it doesn't. Big Coffee charges less by paying farmers poverty wages and cutting corners on quality, then pockets 40% profit. We take 12% profit. The extra you pay goes to farmers and doing things right.

$5.00

to the farmer per bag

Fair wages let farmers invest in quality, sustainability, and their communities.

$0.75

to the farmer per bag

Poverty wages. Big Coffee pockets $6.00 profit instead

Big Coffee pockets more than you think.

The $5 difference in store price isn't our profit-it's their livelihood.
