Season the chuck roast on all sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove from heat and add the mixture to the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk together the brewed coffee, beef broth, brown sugar, and tomato paste until well combined. Pour the mixture over the roast in the slow cooker.
Add the fresh thyme sprigs, carrots, and baby potatoes to the slow cooker, arranging them around the roast.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Discard the thyme sprigs before serving. Use a spoon to drizzle the savory coffee-infused broth over the meat and vegetables.
Slice or shred the roast as desired and serve hot with the vegetables and sauce. Enjoy!
