Light, Medium, or Dark? How Roast Level Changes Everything

Coffee roasting is both science and art. At Rambler Scrambler Coffee, we work with expert roasters who monitor airflow, temperature, and development time for every batch. Why? Because the roast level determines the final flavor, body, and even the caffeine content of your brew.

Light roasts keep more of the bean’s original flavor, often tasting fruity or floral. They also tend to have the most caffeine. Medium roasts strike a balance—smooth, rounded, and often slightly nutty or chocolaty. Dark roasts are bold and rich, with deep notes of smoke, caramel, or spice. They’re less acidic and offer that full-bodied punch many love.

We offer roast levels to match your daily grind—whether you like your coffee to cruise smooth or race hard. So, what roast suits your ride?

Not a type of coffee bean…

Did you know that espresso isn’t a type of coffee bean but a brewing method? By forcing hot water through finely ground coffee at high pressure, you get a rich, concentrated shot of flavor. It’s the base for many drinks, from lattes to cappuccinos. Espresso requires precision, much like tuning a muscle car engine. At Rambler Scrambler Coffee, we love the art of espresso—it’s bold, intense, and full of character. A perfect shot takes practice, but the result is worth it. Whether you’re pulling your own shots or enjoying one at your favorite café, take a moment to savor the craft. Just like the SC/Rambler, espresso packs a lot of power into a small frame. Fuel your day the espresso way! #EspressoLove #CoffeeEducation #FromBeanToCup #BoldAndBrewed #RamblerScramblerCoffee

From Bean to Brew: The Rambler Scrambler Journey

Ever wondered what it really takes to get from green bean to your morning brew? At Rambler Scrambler Coffee, we’ve teamed up with expert roasters who treat sourcing and roasting as both a science and an art. From farm to cup, every step is intentional—designed to deliver clarity, character, and balance in every batch.

Sourcing: Quality Starts at Origin

Our roasting partners work with trusted importers around the world to source coffees that are clean, flavorful, and versatile. Each origin brings its own unique personality: light roasts from Africa lean bright and floral, while medium roasts from Central and South America showcase chocolate and stone fruit. A dark roast sourced from Indonesia delivers rich, smoky depth—without bitterness.

Every coffee selected is chosen not just for how it tastes on its own, but for how it performs across different brew methods. If it doesn’t meet the bar for clarity, balance, and consistency, it doesn’t make it into the roaster.

Roasting: Where Precision Meets Tradition

To unlock each bean’s potential, our roasters use the Loring S15—an advanced roasting machine that merges old-school craftsmanship with high-tech control. Its recirculating hot air system ensures even, repeatable roasting while preserving delicate flavors.

The result? Clean, consistent coffee with each batch roasted to highlight the bean’s natural qualities—not mask them.

Take our Distribution 50:50 roast, for example. This light-medium roast offers a smooth, layered profile with creamy caramel, subtle dried fruit, and a touch of citrus. It’s ideal for those who appreciate a cup with nuance and depth.

Always Fresh, Never Sitting

We make sure the coffee you receive is always fresh. Roasted weekly, most batches ship out within 2–3 days of production. That means what you brew is at peak flavor—not something that’s been sitting on a shelf for weeks.

Your Role in the Journey

While we don’t roast the beans ourselves, we’re deeply involved in curating and delivering coffee that meets our standards. We work closely with roasting partners whose values and attention to detail align with our own, ensuring every bag you receive is something we’re proud to stand behind.

Let’s brew something great—together.

Coffee Fact Friday: Good Things Take Time (Just Ask a Coffee Plant!)

You think waiting for your morning brew is tough? Try being a coffee plant!

It takes a coffee tree 3 to 4 years just to grow its first batch of cherries — talk about patience. Once those cherries are ready, they’re picked, processed, and roasted to unlock all the flavors we obsess over.

Fun fact:

Light roasts are like the coffee’s natural glow-up — they keep more of the bean’s original, delicate flavors. Dark roasts? They go bold and bring out those rich, smoky vibes.

Whether you’re Team Light Roast or ride-or-die for Dark Roast, there’s a perfect cup out there with your name on it.


Which roast rules your world?

When Coffee Was Coffee: No Foam, No Nonsense, Just Bold Flavor

There was a time when coffee was just coffee. No whipped cream. No syrups. No “half-caff, double-shot, oat milk foam” nonsense.

It was black. It was strong. It was brewed in a steel percolator on the dashboard of a semi-truck. And if you wanted cream? You poured in whatever milk was left in the fridge and called it a day.

That’s the kind of coffee we believe in.

Rambler Scrambler Coffee: No frills. Just fuel.

Muscle Cars & Coffee: Why Every Gearhead Runs on Caffeine & Horsepower

Engines Need Gas. Gearheads Need Coffee.

Let’s get one thing straight: if you love muscle cars, chances are you run on caffeine and motor oil. There’s just something about the sound of a V8 rumbling to life that pairs perfectly with the first sip of strong coffee. It’s like a symphony of power, speed, and “no, I don’t need sleep.”

At Rambler Scrambler Coffee, we don’t do weak coffee or slow cars. We’re here for the gearheads, the late-night garage tinkerers, the sunrise cruisers, and the “just one more mod” addicts.

Why Muscle Car Lovers Need Strong Coffee

1. You Work on Cars at All Hours of the Night.

It starts as a simple oil change, and next thing you know, it’s 3 AM, you’ve completely removed the transmission, and your spouse is texting, “Are you alive?”

Strong coffee = less chance of accidentally reassembling your engine backwards.

2. Car Meets Start Early.

Sunday morning cruise-ins sound fun… until you realize they start at 7 AM. Do you know what happens when you mix an early morning with a lack of caffeine? You show up to the car meet in your neighbor’s minivan instead of your ’68 Camaro.

3. It’s the Unofficial Fuel of the Garage.

Your workbench has two things on it at all times: scattered wrenches and a mug of coffee. Just like how you wouldn’t put cheap gas in a Hemi, you shouldn’t settle for weak coffee in your garage.

The Best Coffee for Gearheads

At Rambler Scrambler Coffee, we made a bold roast that’s as strong as your love for old-school horsepower.

☕ Stock up now—because your garage isn’t complete without high-octane coffee.
