The biggest green flag? A coffee shop that roasts its own beans. ☕️

At Black Diesel Coffee, we don’t just serve specialty coffee. We roast our own beans right here in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

From carefully selecting our coffees to developing roast profiles that bring out their unique flavors, we’re involved in the process long before your favorite latte makes it into your hands.

Having our own Ann Arbor coffee roastery means we get to pay attention to the details, from the way each batch is roasted to how it’s brewed and served in our café.

Because really good coffee starts long before your barista pulls that first shot of espresso. 🤎

Next time you stop by Black Diesel, you’re enjoying coffee roasted right here in your own community.

Ever wonder why your espresso at home never tastes quite like the one you order at your favorite coffee shop? ☕

You might have the espresso machine, the coffee beans, and all the right equipment, but great espresso starts with knowing how to pull a good shot.

From grind size and dosing to extraction time and ratios, the smallest adjustments can make a huge difference in how your espresso tastes.

That’s exactly what we teach in our Topical Tuesday Espresso Extraction Class at Black Diesel Barista School in Ann Arbor!

Whether you just bought your first espresso machine or have been making coffee at home for years, our hands-on coffee classes are designed to help you understand the *why* behind every shot so you can start making better espresso in your own kitchen.

Because your favorite coffee shop shouldn’t be the only place you can enjoy a really good latte. 🤎

Not into the crazy flavor combinations but still want to switch up your usual coffee order? ☕️

Carly has a recommendation for you!

Meet the Con Miel, a classic espresso drink made with honey, cinnamon, and steamed milk. It’s simple, slightly sweet, and a great way to enjoy the natural flavors of espresso without adding a bunch of syrups or extra ingredients.

Sometimes, the best coffee drinks are the simplest ones. 🤎

Whether you’re a regular black coffee drinker, a latte lover, or just looking to try something new at your favorite Ann Arbor coffee shop, this might be your next order.

Stop by Black Diesel Coffee in Ann Arbor and ask our baristas what they’d recommend based on how you like your coffee!

Ever find yourself staring at a coffee shop menu wondering what the difference actually is between all the drinks? ☕️👀

Latte, cappuccino, cortado, Americano… they might all start with coffee, but the way they’re made can completely change what ends up in your cup.

Some are creamy and milk-forward, others let the espresso take center stage, and some are perfect for those who just want a really good, straightforward cup of coffee.

At Black Diesel Coffee in Ann Arbor, we believe specialty coffee should be approachable, whether you know exactly what you want or you’re still figuring out your go-to order.

So next time you’re at our Ann Arbor coffee shop, don’t be afraid to ask your barista for a recommendation! Tell us what flavors you enjoy, how strong you like your coffee, or what you usually order, and we’ll help you find something you’ll love. 🤎

Save this for your next coffee run, and tell us: what’s your usual order?

We put the taste buds to the test and… it did not go as planned☕😂

Carly made four mystery drinks from Black Diesel, and the challenge was simple: taste each one and figure out exactly what was in the cup.

Pumpkin Dirty Chai? Eventually. Lavender Matcha? Absolutely not. By drink four, we were blaming the lifetime supply of coffee for the fact that the palate had officially stopped cooperating. 😭

Four drinks, way too many guesses, and somehow zero completely right answers.

Turns out knowing you love coffee and actually identifying what’s in it are two very different skills. 😂

How many do you think you could’ve guessed correctly?

In need of some vitamin c(offee) ☕️

Because sometimes the best part of the day is the little coffee break in the middle of it. Your favorite order, a seat at the café, a few minutes to catch up with a friend or just a reason to slow down before moving on to whatever’s next.

That’s your daily dose of vitamin c(offee), and we’ll happily keep it coming. 🤎

Stop by Black Diesel and stay awhile.

Coffee trends are everywhere, but do our baristas actually approve? ☕️👀

We put some of the biggest coffee trends to the test and asked our team to rate them from 1–10. Protein coffee, coffee flights, mushroom coffee, Keurigs, lavender lattes, matcha, dessert-inspired drinks, canned coffee…and a few definitely caused some debate. 😂

Some earned a 2/10. Some got an 11. And apparently we have a former Keurig truther on the team.

Now it’s your turn: which coffee trend are you defending no matter what? 👇

Specialty coffee is more than a label. It’s the result of attention, skill, and intention at every step☕️

From where the coffee is grown and how it’s processed to the way it’s roasted and brewed, every decision can shape what you eventually taste in the cup.

That’s also why education is such a big part of Black Diesel. The more we understand the entire journey, the better we can roast, brew, teach, and serve coffee with purpose.

From farm to cup, every detail matters.
