"I usually make my iced coffee at home to avoid the coffee shop budget drain, rotating between my cold brew machine and pre-made coffee concentrates. My only gripe with store-bought concentrates? They're not always good. I've found that some bottled cold brews are acidic and bitter, extremely weak, or have an odd, off-putting taste. And then I discovered Kloo, a craft coffee brand that treats concentrates like fine wine."
"Founded by Q grader (essentially a coffee sommelier) Mariella Cho, Kloo uses only specialty-grade coffee beans, which are considered the gold standard by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). Specialty grade beans are evaluated by Q graders on factors such as acidity, aroma, and flavor, and the best are given an SCA score of at least 80. Kloo ensures that its concentrates are of the highest quality by only using beans with a minimum SCA score of 85."
Kloo produces specialty-grade, aged coffee concentrates using beans that meet a minimum SCA score of 85. The brand sources beans from Colombia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Guatemala, then roasts each origin to highlight its unique flavor profile. Beans are brewed in small batches and the concentrate undergoes an aging process to deepen notes and add complexity. The resulting light- and medium-roast concentrates yield consistently rich, smooth, and full-flavored iced coffee that prepares in seconds. The concentrates address common issues with many bottled cold brews, such as acidity, bitterness, thinness, or off-putting flavors, while offering distinct regional tasting notes.
