What This Coffee Tastes Like

Guatemalan Ember is a washed single origin coffee from the Zacatepequez region of Guatemala, an area recognised for producing coffees with balance, sweetness, and reliable structure.

This coffee offers a composed profile that bridges brightness and depth, making it versatile across brewing methods and well suited to those who enjoy classic Central American flavour profiles.

Roast Profile

Medium Roast

Balanced and smooth with a medium body and gentle acidity. The medium roast highlights cocoa sweetness alongside red apple brightness and brown sugar notes, creating a structured yet approachable cup.

This roast works well for filter brewing and espresso, offering clarity and sweetness without sharpness.

Dark Roast

Richer and more developed with reduced acidity and a fuller body. The dark roast deepens the profile toward dark chocolate, subtle cherry sweetness, and warm brown sugar tones.

Well suited for espresso and milk-based drinks, this roast delivers depth and comfort with a smooth, lingering finish.

We roast in fresh small batches for peak flavour and quality, and let every batch degas before it ships, so your coffee reaches you at its best.

COFFEE QUESTIONS

Questions, answered

The things people ask us most about this coffee.

What does it taste like?

Balanced and smooth, with cocoa, caramel, and cinnamon. Gentle acidity and easy sweetness give it a comforting character.

Which brew methods suit it best?

Espresso, drip machine, French press, and pour over. A medium grind suits drip and pour over especially well.

Is it good with milk?

Yes. Its cocoa and caramel sweetness carry nicely through milk, and it is smooth enough to enjoy black too.

What is the difference between the medium and dark roasts?

Medium highlights cocoa sweetness with red apple brightness and brown sugar. Dark softens the acidity and deepens toward dark chocolate, subtle cherry, and warm brown sugar.

Which roast should I choose?

Choose medium for clarity and gentle brightness, or dark for a fuller, sweeter cup that shines with milk.

Is this a good coffee for beginners?

Yes. It is approachable and sweet, with just enough spice character to stay interesting.

How should I grind my coffee for my brew method?

Choose your grind at checkout, or select whole bean and grind at home. As a guide: fine for espresso, medium for pour over and drip, and coarse for French press.

How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?

We roast weekly in small batches in Ottawa, and your order ships within 3 business days of being placed, so your coffee reaches you soon after its roast for peak flavour.

Should I choose whole bean or ground?

Every coffee is available as whole bean or ground to your brew method. Whole bean stays fresher longer; ground is ready to brew right away.

How should I store my coffee to keep it fresh?

Keep it in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Avoid the fridge, and use it within a few weeks of opening for the best flavour.

Can I subscribe and save?

Yes. Choose a subscription at checkout to get fresh coffee delivered on your schedule. You can adjust or cancel anytime per our subscription policy.
