Small-batch roastery · Halifax, Nova Scotia
Roasted weekly,
on your schedule.
Coffee is produce. It peaks in the two weeks after roasting, not two months later. Tell us your taste, and we'll keep roast-dated coffee landing on your doorstep exactly as fast as you drink it.
- Free shipping, every box
- Skip, pause or cancel online
- Roast date on every bag
This week's roast: batch no. 412
We roast coffees from Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, Kenya, Brazil, Sumatra, and Mexico.
How it works
Freshness by scheduling,
not preservation.
-
01
Tell us your taste
Take the two-minute taste quiz (brewer, flavour camp, how much you drink) or skip straight to the box builder if you already know.
-
02
We build your box
Roast profile, grind, bags per delivery, frequency. Every option stays editable after you subscribe. It isn't a contract, it's a default.
-
03
We roast, then ship
Your box is scheduled against the roast calendar, packed the same week it's roasted, and shipped free with the roast date on the bag.
-
04
You adjust as you go
Pause before a holiday, skip a delivery, go darker for winter, add a decaf. It all happens in your account before the Sunday cutoff. No phone calls, no fees.
On the roaster this week
Four regulars, always in rotation.

The Ember & Oak difference
Coffee is produce.
We treat it that way.
Supermarket coffee was roasted months ago. Ours is roasted the same week it ships, in batches small enough that our roasters taste every one. Your box is scheduled against the roast calendar, so it never sits on a shelf, including yours.

The taste quiz
Five questions. Two minutes.
Your coffee, solved.
Brewer, flavour camp, caffeine appetite: the quiz turns your answers into a recommended box with roast, grind, and frequency already set. You can tweak every part of it before anything ships.

“The quiz nailed it on the first try. Eight months in and the only change I've made is adding a second bag, which took about ten seconds.”
Rated 5 out of 5
“I gave my dad the 6-delivery gift and he now texts me tasting notes. Unprompted. My father. Tasting notes.”
Rated 5 out of 5
“Roast date on the bag, ships when it says it will, and pausing for vacation actually works. The coffee being excellent almost feels like a bonus.”
