Coffee roasted by hand, poured like a favour
Six single-origin coffees roasted twice a week in our little brick roastery, and brewed just down the hall in our café.
This season's six single-origins
Each bag is roasted to order and shipped within 48 hours.
Roasted in 12 kg batches, by people you can wave to
Ember Roasters started in 2016 with a second-hand drum roaster and a stubborn idea: great coffee should feel as friendly as a neighbour's kitchen. We buy directly from farms we know, roast in small batches twice a week and write our tasting notes by hand on every bag. Come and watch the roaster on Saturday mornings, we will pour you a cup.

The Guji is the best coffee I have had at home. Fruity, clean, and the little handwritten label is a lovely touch.
We switched our restaurant to Ember last year. The team's training and the consistency made it a no-brainer.
Saturday morning at the café is our family tradition. The cinnamon buns are dangerous.
