Duromina is a coffee from Ethiopia's Agaro region. It is a washed coffee made from Kurume and Wolisho varieties. The coffee delivers a vibrant cup with ripe fruity sweetness and lemony acidity. It has a smooth, velvety mouthfeel with layered fruit notes, creating a well-rounded and deeply satisfying brew. Tasting notes include fruit floral, tangy citrus, and peach.
Exe Coffee Roasters was started in 2012 by Kim and Steve Pearson on Exeter's high street. Steve built the original roaster from scrap pieces; today they roast on a Probat 12kg, producing close to 300 kilos a week from a basement roastery beneath their café on Heavitree Road. The operation is deliberately compact and independent, focused on seasonal espresso blends and a rotating selection of two or three single origins. Steve previously owned Devon Coffee in central Exeter, which he sold to concentrate fully on roasting. The café doubles as a gathering spot, complete with a brick fired pizza oven in the back yard.
