Meet the new Updraft Blend. We traded the citrus for smoke, the almonds for dark chocolate, and kept the part that matters most: making a great cup of coffee at home. Rich, smooth, and deeply satisfying with notes of smoked cedar, vanilla cream, and dark chocolate.

The Nitty Gritty

Updraft (Dark Roast)

Roast Level: Dark

Character: Low Acid, Heavy Body

Tasting Notes: Smoked Cedar • Vanilla Cream • Dark Chocolate

If you’ve been waiting for a dark roast that delivers bold flavor without tasting burnt, this is it.

Updraft Blend is rich, full-bodied, specialty coffee. And unapologetically dark! It opens with a deep, smoky character that gradually gives way to bittersweet dark chocolate, a touch of vanilla cream, and a subtle sweetness that keeps each sip balanced. The finish is long, smooth, and satisfying, with lingering notes of smoked cedar.

With very low acidity and a heavy body, this is the kind of coffee that stands up beautifully to cream and sugar while remaining complex enough to enjoy black. Whether you’re brewing a drip pot before work, pulling espresso, or making a French press, Updraft delivers the bold, comforting cup dark roast fans have been asking for.

Because there are mornings for blood orange and jasmine.

And there are mornings when only dark chocolate and smoke will do.

Why Urban Owl Coffee?

Because hawks are too mainstream and pigeons are, well...pigeons.

But, seriously, roasted coffee, even our high grade specialty coffee, has a short window of uber freshness. A month passes and it starts to lose peak flavor.

That’s why we don't stockpile roasted coffee. We typically roast and ship within a few days, so you retain full control on how you manage your freshness window.

Or you can keep the window open by taking advantage of our subscription service. Same roast, always fresh, straight to your door.
