expect winey. this is franklin madrid-anerobic washed-honduras, a washed honduras from cult coffee roasters.
this coffee is described as winey, a character that comes from its anaerobic fermentation step before washing. expect a pronounced, fruit-forward depth with the cleaner finish typical of washed processing.
it is grown in honduras using bourbon and typica varieties, and processed through an anaerobic washed method, meaning the coffee cherries undergo a sealed, oxygen-limited fermentation before the fruit is removed and the beans are washed and dried. it earned recognition as a cup of excellence lot.
filter or pour over methods suit this coffee well, as they highlight the winey complexity without dulling the cleaner washed structure. aim for water around 93-94°c and a medium-fine grind to keep the cup balanced and expressive.
the steam hisses different at cult coffee roasters on buccleuch street. sharper somehow, more intentional. maybe it's because they actually care what happens between bean and cup, not just moving product through a queue. edinburgh has plenty of coffee shops that'll caffeinate you. fewer that'll make you slow down mid-sip and think "oh, right. this is what coffee can be." cult does that thing where the barista adjusts extraction time based on the morning's humidity. where beans get roasted in small batches because that's how you maintain control over flavor development. regulars don't just come for convenience. they come because someone here knows the difference between bright acidity and sour extraction. because the milk steaming sounds purposeful, not rushed. because 738 google reviewers gave this place 4.6 stars and most of them probably can't explain exactly why their tuesday morning tastes better here. it's the kind of place that makes chain coffee taste like brown water afterward.
