Press is one of Arizona’s largest coffee roasters and has been in the valley since 2008 when original owner Steve Kraus opened their first location. Since then, co-owners Alex Mason and Jason Kyle have joined Kraus, and the company is still owned and operated in Arizona. There are roughly 8 locations across Arizona: 2 in Tempe, 2 in Scottsdale, 3 in Phoenix, and 1 in Chandler. They just recently opened their new flagship location, The Roastery, on 32nd Street and Shea Boulevard in Phoenix.
Press has a strong emphasis on educating its customers about the various coffees they offer. Every bag includes a list of the growing region, elevation, varietal, process, tasting notes and roasting date. The company also offers coffee tasting 101 classes, and after going to one, I would highly recommend it to anyone even vaguely interested in knowing more about coffee.
They are constantly releasing new roasts and blends, including collaborations with local companies like their Pura Vida roast that they made with The Phoenix Zoo.
Overall, Press provides a friendly no fuss coffee experience with some quality beans.
