Crimson Anchor Coffee Roasters

the drip coffee here is the move if you're deciding what to get first. indianola isn't a city people outside iowa think much about, but crimson anchor on west ashland has built something that regulars clearly take seriously, returning with a loyalty that says more than any quick review could. you don't stumble into that kind of following by accident, at least not in a town this size. the roasting focus means what ends up in your cup has been thought about at the source level, not just brewed and forgotten. specialty roasters in small iowa towns carry real stakes, because there's no foot traffic to coast on. if you're nearby, the morning drip on west ashland is a solid reason to make the detour.
