What the hell is Kyri's Koffee?
Allow me to recount the tale of the origin of Kyri’s Koffee…
For starters, I am Kyri. Hello.
If I’m being completely honest, this all begun when I realised I was borderline bankrupting myself just to enjoy a nice coffee every morning.
A quick bit of research, a dash of math (ew), several years of barista experience and one coffee machine later, I found that ’d break even in two months just by making my own iced capps.
Beans? Cheap.
We’re getting ripped off.
Of course it wasn’t enough to just show up to work with a coffee cup full of coffee every morning. Oh no.
Turns out you can just slap a sticker onto a cup and suddenly its merch.
Which is exactly what I did. Kyri’s Koffee cups galore.
Let me run you through the grand plan here:
People see the name → People want the coffee → I get famous → Open a café → Become legend.
Genius.
Shortly after that, I was waiting in line with some sad unenlightened person while they were picking up their 5.40 coffee and spotted something.
Merch.
A lot of merch.
The legend that started it all. Ironically redundant to the brand now.
Kyri's Dentist Barber Shop Merch coming soon.
Why was the coffee place selling merch?
That’s like your barber selling merch. Or your dentist. Ish.
Which got me thinking…
One manic state weekend later and now I’m printing cups.
And hoodies.
And t-shirts.
Kyri’s Koffee wasn’t just a fake café anymore.
It was THE Fake Café.
A little rebellion in your wardrobe.
A soft-spoken way to say: I like coffee, and I acknowledge I’ m getting mugged for it every morning.
