eastside is a medium-roast blend from jj bean coffee roasters, drawing on beans from ethiopia's yirgacheffe region, peru, and indonesia. the yirgacheffe component is washed, which tends to keep the cup clean and defined. the result leans into chocolate across the spectrum, with both milk chocolate sweetness and darker cocoa depth. at a medium roast, it sits in a range that suits most brew methods without pushing into bitter or overly light territory. drip, pour-over, or a french press will all work well here if you want to highlight the chocolate character without overcomplicating extraction.

common questions

What does Eastside taste like?

eastside is built around chocolate, offering both the creamier sweetness of milk chocolate and the deeper, slightly bitter edge of dark chocolate in the same cup.

How is Eastside grown and processed?

eastside is a blend sourcing beans from ethiopia's yirgacheffe region, peru, and indonesia, with the yirgacheffe portion processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before drying to produce a cleaner flavour profile.

How should I brew Eastside?

as a medium roast, eastside is forgiving and works across most brew methods, though drip or pour-over will keep the chocolate notes clear and balanced without adding unwanted heaviness.

about jj bean coffee roasters

some roasters chase trends. jj bean just makes excellent coffee. the commercial drive location has that lived-in feel where baristas know your order by the third visit, steam wand hissing as they pull shots with the kind of attention chains abandoned years ago. you can taste the difference, beans roasted in small batches, each cup carrying the weight of someone who actually cares about what they're doing. the 4.3 rating from over 1,500 reviews tells the story: this isn't flash or instagram appeal. it's the kind of place where your morning ritual feels sacred, where the smell of fresh grounds hits you before you even open the door. vancouver has plenty of coffee options, but regulars keep coming back here because good coffee isn't complicated. it just requires giving a damn.
