"As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, 'This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.'" — Matthew 3:16–17
There are moments in scripture that stop you in your tracks. The baptism of Jesus is one of them — the heavens opening, the Spirit descending, the Father speaking. In that single moment, the identity of the Redeemer was declared for all to hear. It's a passage full of warmth, affirmation, and grace.
That's exactly what we wanted in this cup.
The Name
The Redeemer is one of the most profound titles given to Jesus throughout scripture. To redeem is to buy back, to restore, to make right what was broken. It's an act of love that costs something — and changes everything for the one being redeemed.
We named this blend The Redeemer because it embodies that same spirit: approachable, warm, and quietly transformative. It's not a coffee that demands anything from you. It meets you where you are and makes the moment better.
The Roast
The Redeemer is a light/medium roast — the sweet spot between the bright, floral character of a light roast and the deeper body of a medium. It's roasted long enough to develop richness and sweetness without losing the nuance of the bean underneath.
The result is what we call an easy-drinker: a coffee that's complex enough to be interesting but approachable enough to be your everyday cup. No sharp edges, no bitterness, no need for cream or sugar to make it work — though it's equally good with both.
What It Tastes Like
The Redeemer's tasting notes are warm, familiar, and deeply satisfying:
- Roasted nuts — a grounding, toasty base note that gives the cup body and comfort. Think the smell of almonds or hazelnuts warming in a pan.
- Fig — a natural, jammy sweetness that adds depth without being heavy. Figs bring a richness that pairs beautifully with the nuttiness underneath.
- Caramel — a smooth, lingering sweetness on the finish that makes every sip feel like a small reward.
Together, these notes create a cup that's warm and inviting from the first sip to the last — the kind of coffee you come back to every morning without thinking twice.
Who Is The Redeemer For?
The Redeemer is our most universally loved blend — and for good reason. It's the coffee that works for almost everyone:
- The person who wants something more interesting than a generic medium roast but isn't ready to go full light roast
- The everyday drinker who wants a reliable, delicious cup without fuss
- The coffee gifter who needs something that will land well with anyone
- The new Three Nails customer who isn't sure where to start
If you're not sure which of our blends to try first, start here. The Redeemer has earned its 5-star reviews for a reason.
How to Brew It
The Redeemer's balanced profile makes it versatile across brew methods. It shines in all of the following:
- Drip machine — a natural fit. The caramel and nut notes come through beautifully in a standard drip brew, making it the perfect everyday morning cup.
- Pour-over — slows things down and lets the fig and floral nuances open up. Highly recommended if you want to taste everything this coffee has to offer.
- Espresso — the caramel and roasted nut notes concentrate into a rich, sweet shot. Excellent as a latte base.
- Cold brew — the fig and caramel notes translate beautifully into a smooth, naturally sweet concentrate. (Fun fact: The Redeemer is one half of our Dynamic Duo: Cold Brew Pouch blend.)
As always, we grind every order fresh at the time it's placed. Select your grind at checkout and we'll handle the rest.

A Final Thought
Redemption is one of the great themes of the Christian faith — and one of the great themes of a good cup of coffee, if you think about it. Taking something raw and ordinary, applying heat and craft and care, and producing something that brings people together and makes the day better.
That's what we're trying to do with every bag we ship. We hope The Redeemer earns a place in your morning.
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace." — Ephesians 1:7
