Jubilee Coffee and Roaster, Meguro

Jubilee Coffee Roaster is a little coffee store about a 10 minute walk from Meguro station. It’s located directly across the road from Meguro’s Institute for Nature Study, so it was very convenient to be able to visit both of these places in one trip.

The store stocks about 12 beans that they roast on site - ranging from medium to dark roasts. For 200g of a single origin bean, it’ll cost you about 2400 yen. Not the cheapest you can get in Tokyo, but an alright price. You’re free to ponder your bean selection as they have jars with ground up beans that you can sniff as well.

This time, I went for their Costa Rica bean at a high roast (“high” apparently sits between medium and dark).

When brewing it at home, I first ground it at my regular setting (15 clicks) and went for 93°C. I found that to be a touch sour and settled on 96°C and 14 clicks. I wasn’t blown away, but I’d rate it as a pretty decent cup of coffee.

If you’re a repeat customer, they also have a point card system - buy 1kg worth of beans and get 100g free.

I drank coffee in Costa Rica my whole life without realizing it was actually acidic. Now that I’m away from home, I miss it. It’s true it’s not for everyone, but I hope you come to like it ☕
Hi Melvin, thanks for your comment! I still have a lot to learn about coffee but I'm finding as time goes by I'm beginning to appreciate the acidic flavours more :)
