Fire, Oak, and the Perfect Pour.
Founded in 2021 in the heart of Lisbon, Ember & Oak was born from a simple obsession: how to capture the raw energy of the roast in every single cup.
Our name reflects our philosophy. The Ember represents the heat of transformation, the moment where the green bean finds its soul. The Oak represents our foundation—the traditional values of patience, craft, and community that ground everything we do.
Our Ritual Principles
We don't just roast coffee; we curate a sensory experience that respects the journey from soil to sip.
Radical Transparency
We know every farmer we work with. We visit the estates, taste the soil, and ensure that the price paid reflects the incredible labor involved.
The Art of Heat
Our roasting profiles are unique to each batch. We use sensory feedback—scent, color, and sound—alongside precision data to hit the sweet spot.
Lisbon Roots
We are proud to be a part of Lisbon's vibrant coffee scene. Our cafe is a space for everyone—from neighborhood locals to global travelers.
"Coffee is a bridge. It connects the quiet mountains of Ethiopia to the bustling streets of Lisbon. Our job is to make sure that bridge is built with respect."— Diogo Ferreira, Founder & Head Roaster
