Why Most Dark Roast Fails
Most dark roasts on the market are burnt roast. Scorched in searing metal drums until all natural flavor is lost.
That bitterness is why so many people think they need milk in their coffee.
The truth is, they just haven't had dark roast done right.
Most roasters don't have the skill or patience. They take shortcuts. They accept mediocrity. They burn their beans and call it "dark roast."
We refuse to accept that as normal.
How Ember Gets It Right
Our custom Sivetz fluid-bed roaster suspends every bean in a calibrated current of hot air, delivering a flawlessly even dark roast from the inside out.
Fluid bed roasting uses heated air to roast beans uniformly. No burnt edges. No under-roasted centers.
Decades of obsessive calibration and testing have perfected our process to an art form.
the result...
Dark roast that's bold, rich, and never bitter.
Coffee that proves dark roast doesn't have to taste burnt.
The Experience
AS DRIP COFFEE
A full-bodied cup with chocolate and caramel notes. Smooth finish. No bitterness. Pure coffee pleasure in every sip. This is what dark roast should taste like.
AS ESPRESSO
Beautiful crema. Rich, complex shots. The foundation for perfect lattes and cappuccinos. Espresso that doesn't taste burnt. Espresso that tastes like coffee.
Satisfied Customers Speak
It's the best coffee I have ever had - I've been drinking the dark roast at home for over 50 years. My husband has been trying to find an equivalent coffee that is cheaper and nothing comes even close to its wonderful.

I love dark roast coffee but some gives me heartburn. But not Ember. Not only tastes great but easy on the stomach. Plus if you pick up at their store, you get the supreme happiness of a warm bag.
Bob C.
I'm 56, lived everywhere and tasted everything, and this is hands down the best dark roast out there. I finally quit looking for a local coffee that was even close and have had it shipped for the last 20 years.
