Our Story

It started with
a single roaster.

In 2019, founder Mara Ortiz dragged a secondhand drum roaster into a converted garage and started chasing the perfect cup. No investors, no franchise playbook — just a conviction that coffee deserves patience.

Today, Ember & Oak roasts every bean in-house, sources directly from growers in Ethiopia, Colombia, and Guatemala, and still treats each pour like it's the only one that matters.

The Craft

From green bean
to your cup.

  • 01

    Source

    Direct relationships with 12 farms across three continents. We pay above Fair Trade — always.

  • 02

    Roast

    Small batches on a 1970s Probat drum roaser. Profiled by hand, logged by instinct.

  • 03

    Pour

    Every drink is made to order. Water temp, grind, bloom — dialed in, never automated.

The best coffee I've had outside of Melbourne. The pour-over alone is worth the trip across town.
— Lena Marsh, The Daily Grind Review
