Ambee Coffee Collabs With Somerset Patriots on Organic Coffee

Jersey Diners Blend is Here! Ambee Coffee and Somerset Patriots Team Up for a Home Run Collaboration

Somerset, NJ – At Ambee Coffee, we take our coffee as seriously as New Jersey takes its diners. That’s why we couldn’t be more excited to team up with the Somerset Patriots, the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, to create the Jersey Diners Blend—a bold, nostalgic roast crafted for baseball fans and coffee lovers alike.

This limited-edition dark roast is a tribute to the Patriots’ award-winning Jersey Diners alternate identity and New Jersey’s legendary diner culture. Featuring a carefully curated blend of beans from Colombia, Timor, and Honduras, it delivers deep, rich flavors of walnut, chocolate, and cherries—a classic, no-nonsense cup with the Ambee organic touch.

A True Team Effort: Crafting the Perfect Diner-Style Roast

Creating the Jersey Diners Blend wasn’t just a simple pick-and-pour process. We sampled over a dozen coffees, narrowing them down to eight potential blends. From there, our team held a cupping session, meticulously evaluating flavor, aroma, and body to identify the top three standout roasts.

With the final three contenders locked in, we invited Patriots staff to a blind tasting event at our newest Ambee Coffee location in Warren, NJ. After some serious coffee deliberation, one blend emerged as the clear winner: Colombia, Timor, and Honduras—a deep, diner-inspired roast that hits the perfect balance of bold and smooth.

“Working with the Patriots staff on the Jersey Diners Blend has been an absolute blast,” said Steven Chiocchi, Ambee Coffee’s founder. “We wanted to capture that classic diner-style coffee while staying true to our mission of organic, responsibly sourced beans. After an extensive taste-testing process, we’re confident we knocked this one out of the park!”

More Than Just Coffee—A Celebration of Jersey Culture

The Jersey Diners identity took the 2024 season by storm, earning national media attention on NBC, ABC, ESPN, and more. The campaign led to record-breaking merchandise sales and a 42% increase in attendance for themed game nights. Fans loved it so much that it was voted “Best Alternate Identity in Minor League Baseball” at the 2024 MiLB Awards and won the Golden Bobblehead for Best New Merchandise Promotion.
