About JBC Coffee Roasters
Community reputation · Reddit
Cult favorite· sentiment 85/100
Six live Reddit sources are predominantly positive about JBC. Contributors call the roaster amazing and great, describe a Gesha as unusually memorable, praise a fruit-forward Ethiopian, and report a floral and fruity Nano Genji espresso with chocolate on the finish. Two posts also describe JBC beans as high quality and complex, though one brewer sought help reproducing the listed tasting notes.

JBC is amazing, I live right next to their roastery too!

I am also happy to vouch for JBC, they are a great roaster. I lived in Madison for several years and would stop by their offices every now and then (them and Colectivo were my primary source of beans during my time in Wisconsin), although my most recent purchase with them was the Ninety Plus Gesha Estates #227.

My first step into coffees of complexity was with JBC's (Madison, WI) Refisa Ethiopia and now Bella Carmona, each brewed in a French press. I gave my son (age 13) a taste, and he likes it. Now, he doesn't like the Starbucks Cold Brew or Iced Coffee from the grocery because it tastes like 'nothing' to him now. His mom l

I ordered Ethiopian's this month from heart hydrangea and JBC and JBC might be the best of the three. I regularly order great Ethiopian coffees from top roosters and I was pleasantly surprised by JBC. It doesn't get as much buzz on here but when I did a little research they have good roots and great reputation. Some ha

I’ve been making what I believe to be some pretty damn good cups of coffee lately with some high quality beans (I’ll be referencing Buna Boka #1 from JBC Roasters here), but I’m missing those tasting notes that are on the bag. I know that they’re “notes,” so they’re not supposed to slap you in the face, but I’ve been s

JBC Nano Genji on a DE1 Pro with LRV2 Profile Fantastic! Floral/fruity with some chocolate on the finish. Was slightly tart but balanced that a bit in my next pull by upping the temp slightly.

Fellow's Take on Wilton Benitez Yellow Bourbon by JBC Coffee
Fellow · 1.3K views on YouTube
Watch on YouTubeWhat the reviewer said
From Fellow, discussing Wilton Benitez Cooler Coffees:
“Yellow Bourbon is called this because the cherries when they ripen, instead of ripening to a typical like pink-red color, they ripen to a nice like beautiful like yellowish color.”
“They're really known for their brightness and their deep florality, and just a lot of complexity in the cup.”
“This one is processed, it's a thermal shock anaerobic processed by Wilton Benitez in Colombia.”
