ethiopia coffee
by ancoats coffee co. · manchester, uk
you'll taste stone fruit before hibiscus. this is niguse jilo – ethiopia, a natural ethiopia from ancoats coffee co..
it leads with stone fruit and hibiscus, flavours that come through clearly as a result of the natural process, where the cherry dries intact around the bean and passes its sweetness and floral character into the cup.
it comes from yirgacheffe in southern ethiopia and is naturally processed, meaning the harvested cherries are dried whole rather than having the fruit removed before drying.
filter brewing, such as a pour-over or v60, suits a natural yirgacheffe well, as it keeps the cup clean enough to let the stone fruit and hibiscus notes come through without muddying them.
there's something about the way they pull shots at ancoats coffee co. that stops conversations mid-sentence. maybe it's the careful attention to timing, or how the barista actually tastes the espresso before sending it out. either way, the 466 google reviewers giving them a 4.6 aren't lying. tucked into royal mill on redhill street, this isn't another chain trying to replicate authenticity. the coffee here tastes like someone who actually cares made it. regulars know to arrive early because when they run out of their daily roast, that's it. no backup beans from some warehouse. the ceramic cups stay warm long enough for proper conversation, and the steam wand hisses with the confidence of people who've done this thousands of times. manchester's got plenty of coffee options, but this one earns the walk to ancoats.
