Specialty roastery — Portland, Oregon

Small batches.
Big mornings.

Direct-trade coffee roasted in a 1962 Probat on SE Oak Street, packed the same afternoon, and out the door before the crack of the next batch. Portland-weird about freshness since 2019.

The roster rotates with the harvest calendar. When a lot is gone, it's gone — that's farming, not a marketing tactic.

Our story — obsession no. 47

Named for the fire.
And the street.

Ember is the roast — a 1962 Probat drum we found in a barn outside Salem, rebuilt bolt by bolt, and named Brünnhilde. Oak is the street — the Southeast Portland garage where the whole block smells like caramelizing sugar twice a week.

We buy direct from eleven farms we can name from memory, pay well over the commodity price without being asked, and roast in batches small enough that Marco still tastes every single one. When something's off, it doesn't ship. That's the entire quality program.

The Standing Order — never run dry

Coffee that shows up
before you miss it.

Pick your beans and a rhythm. We roast on Tuesday, your bag ships Wednesday, and your future self says thanks on a groggy Thursday.

  1. Pick your beans. Any bag in the lineup — or let Marco surprise you.
  2. Pick your rhythm. Weekly, every two weeks, or monthly. Change it whenever.
  3. Open the door. It ships free, the day after roast, forever.

Pause anytime. Skip a month. Cancel in two clicks — we're a roastery, not a gym.
