Our Hazelnut Cream is a smooth medium roast with the warm, roasted aroma of real hazelnuts, balanced for a creamy, comforting finish. Works great as drip coffee, cold brew, or pour-over. The nutty hazelnut notes blend well with the smooth roast for something indulgent but easy to drink. If you like hazelnut, this is the one.

Use the Strong setting on your Keurig and brew at 6 to 8 oz. A smaller cup size pulls more flavor and body from the pod.

Filtered water makes a noticeable difference. Run a water-only cycle first to clear the machine, then brew and enjoy while it's hot.

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.

About the Producer

Producers at the foot of Serra Negra in Minas Gerais grow this coffee between 750 and 1100 meters. Harvest is May through August, with cherries spread on patios and turned by hand over twenty to twenty-five days of natural drying. The region's combination of warm days and cool highland nights slows cherry maturation and concentrates sugars. Red-clay laterite soil, threaded with mineral deposits, adds an earthy quality that anchors the cup's sweetness.

Many of these families have worked the same hillsides for generations, passing down knowledge of microclimates and drying conditions. The result is coffee that's low in acidity, full-bodied, with chocolate and nutty warmth. Not a competition lot, just honest, well-made Brazilian coffee. Soft, approachable, and consistent year after year.

About the Coffee

Loading flavor profile...

Light & Bright Dark & Bittersweet

Soft & Subtle Crisp & Bright

Mellow Bold

Roasted hazelnut is the star here, warm and toasty, with a vanilla cream sweetness that rounds out the cup without covering up the nut flavor. The two work together rather than competing. You get the depth of the hazelnut and the smoothness of the cream in every sip.

This is a straightforward, satisfying flavored coffee. No bitterness, no artificial aftertaste. It's great as a morning cup, especially if you like your coffee on the sweeter, smoother side. Brews well in drip, K-Pod, or French press. Add a splash of cream if you want to lean all the way into it.

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.

Science-Backed Ingredients

We only use Arabica beans that score 80 or above on the Specialty Coffee Association scale—their standard for exceptional flavor and cleanliness. These tend to be grown at higher elevations and harvested by hand. In our experience, starting with a better bean matters more than anything else we do.

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.

We test our coffees for mold before and after roasting. And while we cannot make a medical claim about what that means for you, but a lot of people who have had trouble with other coffees tell us they do fine with ours, and that it doesn't bother their stomachs (especially helpful for folks struggling with GERD).

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.
