brazil coffee · cup of excellence
by crankhouse coffee · exeter, uk
expect winey. this is fazenda samambaia anaerobic natural, an anaerobic brazil from crankhouse coffee.
this coffee has a winey character, a direct result of its anaerobic natural processing, which intensifies the flavors that develop during fermentation. it is a distinctly fruit-forward, ferment-influenced cup rather than a clean or neutral one.
it is a bourbon varietal grown in sul de minas, brazil, and processed using an anaerobic natural method, meaning whole cherries are fermented in sealed tanks without oxygen before being dried. it was awarded recognition as a cup of excellence lot.
a brew method that allows longer contact time, such as french press or a similar immersion brewer, will complement the winey, fermentation-driven qualities of this coffee. avoid very high water temperatures, which can push the ferment notes toward harsh territory.
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.
