by crankhouse coffee · exeter, uk
this is wilton benitez anaerobic natural tabi, an anaerobic colombia + indonesia from crankhouse coffee.
the anaerobic natural process drives strong fermented, fruit-forward flavors typical of this method, with the caturra, pacamara, bourbon, and typica varietals contributing a varied base of sweetness and body. expect a cup that leans intense and expressive rather than clean or delicate.
this coffee is grown across colombia and indonesia, with java as the noted region, using a blend of caturra, pacamara, bourbon, and typica plants. it undergoes anaerobic processing, meaning the coffee ferments in a low-oxygen environment before being dried as a whole fruit, concentrating sugars and fermentation-derived flavors.
the intensity from the anaerobic natural process responds well to filter brewing, which preserves clarity and lets the fermentation character come through without muddying the cup. if pulling as espresso, a slightly longer ratio can help balance the fruit-forward density.
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.
