Crankhouse Coffee

Crankhouse Coffee launched in 2014 in Exeter, beginning in a single car garage before moving through a converted barn near Dartmoor and a central city unit. It now operates from a small industrial space at Skyways Business Park near Exeter Airport.

The business describes itself as a small roastery focused on relationship coffees and high scoring microlots, with a close interest in the science of the roast as well as the craft. Crankhouse is a contributing member of the Specialty Coffee Association, World Coffee Research, the Alliance for Coffee Excellence, and One Percent for the Planet.

Recent lots have included experimental processing from Colombia (including coffees from Wilton Benitez), and washed lots from India and Brazil. Coffee is sold via online retail and subscription, with guest spots in specialty cafes across the UK and Europe and a dedicated wholesale programme.
