Aurora Coffee is a small-batch roastery on NE Alberta. We source single-origin lots from named farms, roast them slowly on Tuesdays, and pour them on the same long oak counter every morning at 7.

The slow roast

Fourteen minutes from green to gold.

Every Tuesday morning we run a 12-kilo Probat at low gas, drawing the development out longer than most. The result is a cup that keeps its origin honest — clean acidity up front, a slow honeyed tail, and almost no roast bitterness.

  • Charge temp 198°C
  • First crack 9:42
  • Drop 14:08
  • Rested seven days
How we work

Three rooms, one rhythm.

Sourcing, roasting, and pouring all happen in the same hundred-foot stretch of NE Alberta. It keeps things small — and a little stubborn about the details.

Single-origin lots, named farms.

We buy small. Six to ten bags at a time, directly from importers who know the producers by first name. Every label tells you the farm, the elevation, and the harvest week.
