KLLR Coffee Blog

In our last Espresso @ Home clip, we laid out the steps to pulling a shot of espresso. 

This time, we're going to show you how to make sure it actually tastes good.

Like coffee?

Like booze? 

Join us in celebrating National Irish Coffee Day with this recipe for a KLLR Irish Coffee! 

Making espresso at home but unsure if you're doing it right?

Check out our video, Steps to Pulling an Espresso Shot to learn the proper order of operations!

In this edition of Espresso @ Home, we give a brief over-view of the gear you'll need to make great espresso at home and cover the basic functionality of home espresso equipment. 

In our last blog we touched on New Year’s Resolutions and why you shouldn’t feel the need to swear off the bean juice in 2021.

That said, goals are great to have and we even left you with a possible goal at the end of that blog: drink better coffee.

There’s one caveat here: to drink better coffee, we’ve got to be able to brew better coffee.

Not overly confident in your home-barista skill sets?

We got you!

Cleaning, in the context of café life, isn’t confined to some “to-do” item points on the nightly closing list. Adhering to a simple, regular cleaning regimen is an easy and essential way to ensure great tasting coffee, maintain a clean and cared-for environment and maximize the lifespan of equipment (it ain’t cheap, after all!).  

Check out this post for everything you need to keep your work-space looking clean. 

In one of our more recent blog posts, we discussed seasonal coffee beverages in the context of coffee shops and how creative, seasonally-focused rotating menus can be a fun way to engage both baristas as well as those they serve.

What about at home?

Check out this blog to learn how to make a delicious seasonal beverage in your own home kitchen: the KLLR Cascara Soda!

At KLLR Coffee, we love seeing the fun ways our clients embrace seasonality and the creativity of their baristas. In fact, each quarter we are distributing a collection of syrup and beverage recipes for our shops to use, riff-on, or get inspired by.

For the purpose of this blog, we are featuring one of our current recipes: The Maple Pecan Iced Latte, a sweet- treat for those wanting to drink cool even when it’s cold out.

Learn how to drink coffee in style - even at the office. 

We discuss the tried and true French Press, a contemporary favorite in the Hario V60, the ubiquitous batch brew-pot, and – for those willing to put in the work (at work) – espresso.
