colombia + brazil coffee
by crankhouse coffee · exeter, uk
you'll taste red apple before winey. this is chx plus, an anaerobic colombia + brazil from crankhouse coffee.
chx plus is described as having red apple and winey tasting notes, a profile shaped by its anaerobic processing which concentrates fruit-forward, ferment-driven flavours.
it is a bourbon varietal sourced from colombia and brazil, processed anaerobically, where the coffee cherries ferment in sealed tanks without oxygen before drying.
because the anaerobic process produces a bold, fruit-intense cup, brew methods that give you control over extraction, such as filter or espresso, work well, keeping temperatures moderate to balance the winey character without amplifying bitterness.
crankhouse coffee sits beneath fore street like exeter's best-kept secret, though 179 google reviewers scoring it 4.9 stars suggest the word is getting out. good thing too. this basement roastery has that lived-in feeling that chain shops spend fortunes trying to fake, the kind of place where your barista remembers how you take your flat white after three visits. the beans here taste like someone actually cares about what happens between roasting and your first sip. no rushing, no shortcuts. just coffee that makes you pause mid-conversation because wow, that's what espresso should taste like. regulars file down those basement steps like they're heading to their favorite local pub, which makes sense. crankhouse has that same welcoming pull, that sense you've found your spot in the city. some places sell coffee. others serve community in ceramic cups.
