Kloo

Kloo is a specialty coffee company founded and crafted by a certified Q Grader, the coffee equivalent of a sommelier, with a mission to elevate the coffee experience through single-origin, specialty-grade coffee concentrates. The company is women-led and diverse-owned, with co-founder Mariella Cho bringing over 15 years of roasting, brewing, and tasting expertise. Kloo sources its beans directly from renowned coffee regions such as Ethiopia (Adado, Yirgacheffe), Guatemala (Pasajquim, Atitlan), Kenya (Karundu, Nyeri), and Colombia (Venecia, Cundinamarca), focusing on high SCA scores (85+), specialty grades, and ethical direct trade practices. All coffee is roasted in-house and brewed by hand using a proprietary process developed by the co-founder, ensuring exceptional flavor clarity and quality. Kloo's main products are highly concentrated coffee bottles (12x strength) and tasting sets, designed for versatility in hot or iced drinks, cocktails, desserts, and more. The company emphasizes flavor discovery, transparency in sourcing, and sustainability, with all packaging being biodegradable, recyclable, or reusable. Kloo's approach is to make craft coffee accessible while maintaining the highest standards of quality and ethical sourcing. The brand has received positive reviews for its unique flavors, convenience, and educational approach to coffee origins and tasting notes. While the exact year of founding is not specified, Kloo has established itself as an innovative leader in the craft coffee concentrate space, with a growing presence both online and in select retail locations. Notable clients or partners are not explicitly listed, but the company is recognized for its direct relationships with smallholder farmers and specialty coffee producers.
