Slayer

 

Since 2007 : Revolutionizing the Art of Coffee Making

 

Born in Seattle, a city deeply entrenched in coffee culture, Slayer Espresso was founded by Jason Prefontaine and a team of passionate coffee enthusiasts in 2007. Slayer's creation emerged from a shared desire to give baristas unparalleled control over the espresso-making process. The brand's genesis was rooted in the realization that many espresso machines prioritized automation and volume at the expense of flavor and artistry. Slayer was designed to change that, enabling professionals to craft espresso with exceptional precision, enhancing both the coffee’s flavor and the experience of its preparation.

 

The founders set out to build machines that were not just functional, but also artistic tools that allowed baristas to extract the full potential of every coffee bean. Slayer’s innovative approach to espresso-making quickly disrupted the coffee world, establishing the brand as a leader in precision and craftsmanship.
