We roast for your order

Your coffee joins the next weekday roast schedule. We rest, seal and date every bag so the flavor arrives ready to open—not tired from a warehouse shelf.

Brew it your way

Local orders can be picked up in Seattle, while shipped orders receive tracking. Subscribers can adjust upcoming deliveries before the roast cutoff.

Before you brew

Frequently asked questions

When will my coffee be roasted?

We roast Tuesday through Friday and match orders to the next appropriate batch. Most bags leave our roastery within two business days, with the roast date printed clearly on the seal.

Can you grind my coffee?

Yes. Choose whole bean, espresso, pour-over, drip or French press when ordering. For maximum freshness we recommend whole bean, but our commercial grinder gives each brewing style a consistent starting point.

How do subscriptions work?

Choose a coffee, 12oz or 2lb bag, and weekly, fortnightly or monthly delivery. Recurring bags receive 10% off, and you can pause or change future shipments before they enter the roast queue.

Do you offer local pickup?

Yes, select free Seattle roastery pickup during checkout. We will email when the order is packed; please wait for that message before making the trip.

A Seattle roast profile

Sweetness first, smoke never.

Ember began with a straightforward idea: coffee can be expressive without becoming fussy. We buy coffees with enough structure to taste clear as black coffee and enough developed sweetness to sit comfortably beside milk. Then we roast in small, repeatable batches and taste each production roast before it reaches the shop.

Our range moves from the berry-and-citrus lift of Sunrise Bloom to the deep chocolate body of Night Ferry. Cascade House holds the center as an easy daily brewer, while Rainier Reserve rewards a slower weekend pour. The four coffees are distinct on purpose; choosing should feel like matching a cup to your morning, not decoding jargon.

Tasting notes are useful direction, not added flavors. Blueberry, caramel, orange peel and molasses describe what our team finds naturally in the brewed coffee. Every bag contains only roasted coffee beans.

Choose by cup

Find your everyday coffee

Start with how you brew and what you enjoy. There is no universally best coffee—only the profile that fits the cup you want today.

Bright and fruit-led

Choose Sunrise Bloom for pour-over, AeroPress or a lighter automatic drip brew. Its blueberry aroma opens as the coffee cools, bergamot keeps the finish lifted, and cocoa nib gives the cup enough grounding to stay balanced.

Start here: 20g coffee, 320g water, medium-fine grind and a three-minute brew.

Balanced and familiar

Cascade House is the most adaptable bag on our shelf. Caramel sweetness works in a batch brewer, red apple brings life to pour-over, and toasted almond makes a forgiving espresso that pairs naturally with milk.

Start here: 22g coffee, 350g water, medium grind and water near 200°F.

Rich and low-acid

Night Ferry is built for French press, moka pot, cold brew and anyone who wants a darker cup without an ashy edge. Dark chocolate and molasses supply body while roasted hazelnut carries the finish.

Start here: 30g coffee, 480g water and a four-minute immersion.

One-time or recurring

Two ways to keep coffee close

Buy a bag when you need it

A one-time order is right for exploring a new origin, stocking up for visitors or sending coffee without creating a renewal. Select 12oz or 2lb, choose whole bean or a brew-specific grind, and check out once.

One-time 12oz prices are $21 for Sunrise Bloom, $19 for Cascade House, $22 for Rainier Reserve and $18 for Night Ferry. Larger 2lb bags are available from each product selector.

Freshness, explained

What happens after you order

Your selection reaches the roast list

We combine orders by coffee and roast profile, then assign them to the next suitable Tuesday–Friday batch. That keeps production efficient without leaving finished bags waiting on a shelf.

The coffee rests and settles

Fresh coffee releases carbon dioxide quickly after roasting. A short controlled rest helps the cup brew more evenly, so we do not rush hot beans straight into a shipping box.

Your bag is sealed and dated

Each order is checked against the requested coffee, size and grind. We seal it in a one-way-valve bag, print the roast date, and send tracking or pickup instructions when it is ready.

Responsible sourcing

Specific information, not vague claims

We identify country, producing region, processing method and known varieties on every product. When a coffee is assembled from several small farms, we say so rather than presenting a fictional single-farm story. Lots change with harvests, and product details change with them.

Our buying decisions weigh cup quality, repeatability and the information available through importing partners. This site does not publish unverifiable impact numbers or sweeping sustainability promises. We would rather give you accurate lot details and improve the record as documentation arrives.

Coffee is agricultural, so a familiar name can evolve through the year. Cascade House may rotate among compatible Huila lots while remaining anchored to caramel, red apple and almond. If a change is large enough to alter that promise, it becomes a new product.

What appears on every bag

Coffee name: the selection you ordered.
Origin details: country and region we can substantiate.
Process: washed, natural or another documented method.
Roast date: the production date for that bag.
Grind: whole bean or the preparation you selected.

Keep the bag nearby when asking for brew help; those details help us recommend the next adjustment.

Delivery and pickup

Serving Washington, one fresh bag at a time

Current delivery area: Ember ships only to addresses in Washington State. We do not accept out-of-state shipping addresses in this MVP.

Washington shipping

Shipping cost and applicable sales tax are calculated from the address at checkout. Once the carrier scans the parcel, we email tracking to the address used for the order.

Transit time begins after roasting and packing, not when the order is first submitted. Weather, holidays and remote destinations can affect the carrier’s estimate.

Free Seattle pickup

Choose roastery pickup during checkout to remove the shipping charge. We email collection instructions and the pickup window when the order is fully packed.

Please wait for the ready message before traveling; the address alone does not mean a custom-ground order has cleared production.

Order care

If a parcel arrives damaged or the contents do not match the confirmation, photograph the package and label before opening everything. Those details help us resolve the fulfillment issue quickly.

Coffee roasted or ground to preference is not returnable simply because the flavor is not a match, but we are glad to help dial in the brew.

Practical brew notes

Better coffee with the gear you own

Automatic drip

Keep the basket level

Use about 60 grams of coffee per liter of water and shake the basket gently before brewing. A flat bed helps water move through the grounds evenly rather than finding one fast channel.

If the cup is sour and thin, grind finer. If it is bitter and drying, grind coarser before changing dose.

Pour-over

Pour with purpose

Start with a bloom using roughly three times the coffee’s weight in water, then wait 30–40 seconds. Continue in calm pulses that keep the bed wet without filling the brewer to its rim.

Consistency matters more than an elaborate pattern. Record coffee, water, grind and time when a cup works.

French press

Let immersion work

Use a medium-coarse grind and steep for four minutes before breaking the crust. Press slowly, pour the full batch promptly and avoid leaving brewed coffee on the grounds.

A silty cup usually needs a coarser, more even grind rather than more force on the plunger.

Home espresso

Change one variable

Begin near a one-to-two brew ratio: 18 grams in and 36 grams out around 30 seconds. Taste first, then adjust grind to change flow while holding the dose steady.

Use coffee within a comfortable fresh window and purge retained grounds after a large grinder adjustment.

Customer feedback

Real reviews belong here

Awaiting the client’s verified customer reviews

We have intentionally left this area free of invented names, ratings and quotations. Once Ember provides permissioned feedback from real customers, review cards can be added here with the original wording and appropriate attribution.

Ordering, storing and brewing

Which bag size should I choose?

A 12oz bag yields roughly seventeen 10-ounce brewed cups at a common ratio, while 2lb yields about forty-five. Your actual result depends on dose and strength, so track how quickly the first bag disappears before changing cadence.

Should I order whole bean or ground?

Whole bean preserves aroma longest if you have a burr grinder. If you do not, choose the named grind closest to your brewer; a consistent roastery grind is usually better than an uneven blade grinder at home.

How should I store coffee?

Keep the valve bag sealed at room temperature in a dark, dry cupboard. Avoid the refrigerator, where moisture and food aromas can affect an opened bag; freeze only well-sealed portions you will not repeatedly thaw.

What if I pick the wrong grind?

Check the confirmation immediately and request a correction before the bag enters production. Once coffee has been ground it cannot be made whole again, but we can suggest adjustments if the package is already on its way.

Can subscriptions be gifts?

This MVP is designed for the buyer’s own recurring account, so it does not promise gift messages or a fixed prepaid term. A one-time coffee order is the clearest gift option until dedicated gifting is added.

Do tasting notes mean flavoring was added?

No. Notes describe naturally occurring aroma and flavor associations our team finds in the brewed coffee. Ember coffees contain roasted coffee only and are not flavored with syrups, oils or extracts.
