Air Roasted For Smooth Flavor

Roasts and Ships Within Days

Dark chocolate arrives first, not the sweet kind from childhood, but the sort that makes you pause mid-sip and remember you're an adult who chose this moment. It spreads across your palate like dusk spreading across Minnesota skies—inevitable, welcome, complete.

Then comes the surprise: cooked raspberry, soft and concentrated, like summer preserved in amber. Not fresh fruit's brightness, but something deeper—berries that have given up their secrets to heat and time, becoming essence rather than merely flavor.

This is coffee for the second act of your day, when morning's promises have settled into afternoon's truths. In your chosen mug, held between both hands like a talisman, this full-bodied brew doesn't apologize for its richness.

The chocolate deepens. The raspberry whispers. Together they create that rare thing: coffee that tastes like wisdom feels—complex, earned, unexpectedly sweet at the edges. Some afternoons deserve nothing less.

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.

About the Producer

Between May and August, when winter sun breaks across Minas Gerais, the patios come alive with the ritual of the harvest. Here, at the foot of the Serra Negra—the black mountain that watches over these lands between 750 and 1100 meters—producers spread their coffee cherries in careful rows, turning them under the Brazilian sky for twenty to twenty-five patient days. This natural process, refined through generations, coaxes forth the mild almond sweetness that has defined this region since coffee first arrived centuries ago. These aren't the experimental lots that chase points and prices. This is the steady heartbeat of Brazilian coffee—the reliable craft of producers who understand that consistency itself is an art form. Each cup carries their quiet dedication: soft, approachable, with a mellow brightness that doesn't shout but speaks clearly to those who listen.

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.

Specialty-Grade Coffee, Delicious Taste

We only roast the top 5% of beans in the world—carefully selected for clarity, character, and consistency. When you start with exceptional quality, you don't need shortcuts. Every cup begins with a promise: good beans, done right.

We partner with producers who prioritize fair wages, sustainable practices, and long-term relationships. From seed to sip, this coffee is as good for the growers as it is for you. Because doing it right means doing it together.

Air roasting unlocks the bean’s full aroma and complexity—think vibrant notes that actually reflect the origin. It’s a cleaner, more expressive cup that delights your senses from the first inhale to the last warm sip—so you actually taste the coffee's origin and not just the burntness of the roaster drum.

Most roasters use scorching-hot drums that can leave bitter, smoky notes. We air roast with precision and patience—preserving delicate flavors and skipping the scorch. The result? Coffee that’s smooth, never harsh, and always easy on your taste buds.

Air roasting reduces acidity and surface oils, making Ember coffee gentler on digestion. It’s a clean, smooth experience—even black—that doesn’t leave you with jitters or heartburn. Just calm energy and a ritual you can feel good about.

Science-Backed Ingredients

We only roast Arabica beans that score 82+ on the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) scale—a mark of exceptional flavor, cleanliness, and complexity. Grown at higher elevations and harvested by hand, these beans mature slower, developing deeper sweetness, brighter notes, and a more layered cup. It’s the top 5% of coffee in the world—and you’ll taste why.

Every lot we roast meets SCA’s rigorous grading system, which evaluates 10 key attributes—like aroma, acidity, balance, and aftertaste. Each batch is cupped, scored, and traceable, ensuring not just quality, but integrity at every step. This isn't marketing fluff—it’s a globally respected benchmark for true specialty coffee. We source, roast, and brew with purpose—so you get a cup you can count on.

Clean beans matter. All Ember Coffee is tested and certified mold-free, ensuring a healthier cup without hidden contaminants. Lower-quality coffees often carry higher risks of mold and mycotoxins due to poor storage or processing. We hold every batch to higher standards—because you deserve a cup that’s as pure as it is delicious.
