Sear roast in hot oil until slightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer roast to a plate. Add onion and garlic to the pot; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Return roast to the pot; pour coffee and 1 1/2 cup water over top. Add bouillon, basil, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until meat is falling apart, 2 to 3 hours. Transfer roast to a serving dish and cover with a lid or aluminum foil. Discard basil leaves. Keep broth in the pot over medium heat. Whisk flour and remaining 1/2 cup water together in a bowl until smooth; slowly whisk into broth until gravy is smooth and somewhat clear. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Pour about 1/2 of the gravy over roast, and pour the rest into a gravy boat for serving. Tips If you don't mind straining carrots from the broth, they go well with this and add a nice flavor. Just add them in before you cover the meat. I usually add 1 to 1 1/2 small bags of baby carrots.
