J Brooks Coffee Roasters

Got a French Press for Christmas and have been making some delicious coffee. I wanted to try some high quality coffee and coarse ground can be difficult to find at the store. I stopped by J Brooks and picked up three bags of their various dark roast coffees. All three are even better than I could have imagined. Deep, rich, creamy and bold. So smooth. Zero bitterness. The Onyx had hints of chocolate and a long finish. The aroma permeated the whole house for hours after I had brewed. It made me crave another pot. The Bootleg was more complex than a fine cabernet. Every sip I discovered something new. The Gallant was super bold and rich. It's what you expect from fine gourmet coffee. Don't be afraid of the dark. There is no bitterness here, only rich creamy smoothness.

Good people. Great service with an excellent attitude. The coffee is off the chain good. How blessed we are to have such a world-class roaster here in Memphis. Don't cheat yourself, treat yourself to J Brooks Coffee ! You will be glad you did.

I was really excited to try this coffee! My husband went on a work trip and I had him pick me up the Ethiopian and Guatemala. The Ethiopian had medium and smooth on the label so I figured it was a medium blend. Upon opening the beans were extremely dark and its definitely a dark roast. Couldn't even drink it as it was too bitter for my liking. The Guatemala is a medium roast but I just can't seem to extract any good flavors on a pour over. Not sure if there was mix up or what but not what I expected. I also would've like a roasting date but there was none.

I couldn't say enough good things about John and his son David. They are extremely passionate about the coffee they make and I've tried every medium and dark roast they roast. The Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is a must try in my opinion.

Great service and fresh beans at this location. They took the time to help me purchase the right one. I will return.

Best coffee I ever had and I don’t even like coffee but this coffee is the best and also Bussin

One of my favorite local roasters EVER! Great customer service. I have frequently ordered online and always received great products in a timely manner. Excellent customer service too. Love giving this coffee as gifts whenever we go somewhere new! Onyx and Old World are our family favorites!

J Brooks does a great job roasting coffee - they are craft roasters who study their craft and produce excellent coffee across the spectrum of roasts. They are also scrupulously honest in their dealings with the farmers as well as customers.

John has been a great encouragement to me personally as a home roaster. He is generous with his time and expertise. I give him and the company my highest marks.

I was on a hunt for some whole beans when I stumbled across this place. Great vibes all the way around. The team was very pleasant and informative. The coffee is fantastic and the customer service is grade A. I'm looking forward to trying their other options.

Last year during my trip to Memphis, I became obsessed with the food and coffee at Sunrise Memphis. After finding out they were using J Brooks Coffee, once I got home, I started ordering online. They fill and send the order so quickly. Love Onyx and this last order, I am now enjoying Urban Joe.
