Inside the Embercraft roastery at dawn: a brass drum roaster with gentle steam beside kraft paper bags of beans on a reclaimed wood counter

Roasted at first light.

Small batches, honest origins, and a 48-hour rest before a single bag leaves the roastery.

Since 2019

From green to ember

Every batch starts before the city wakes. We roast in 12-kilo runs so the drum — not a schedule — decides when a coffee is done. The beans then rest a full two days, letting the roast settle and the aromatics find their feet.

Every bag is stamped with its roast date. Peak flavor lives in the first two to four weeks after roasting — we roast to order so yours arrives inside it, never after.
