PRESS Coffee, the Phoenix-based specialty coffee roaster is excited to announce its acquisition of a Panama coffee estate. Since its establishment in 2008, the PRESS Coffee team has been committed to sourcing and serving the highest quality specialty coffee. With this addition, the coffee roaster will truly be fulfilling the farm-to-cup path and sourcing beans from origin.
“This coffee estate marks a significant milestone for our company,” said Jason Kyle co-owner of PRESS Coffee. “It helps us expand our commitment to quality, sustainability, and deepen our connection to the farm. This farm will allow us to offer even richer, more distinctive coffees and we’re excited to bring them to our customers.”
The PRESS Estate is in the forested highlands of the Volcan Valley in western Panama. This region is renowned for its unique terroir and high elevations that produce some of the most distinctive coffees in the world. Named after the Barú volcano, the iconic peak is central to Panama’s best specialty coffee lands. The farm benefits from superior soil resulting from the last seven volcanic eruptions on the western side of the Barú volcano. The estate spans a 70-hectare plain at an elevation ranging from 1,800 to 2,300 meters above sea level. This unique geography offers fertile soils and a microclimate ideal for cultivating exceptional coffee beans. With panoramic views of Barú, the farm exemplifies the natural beauty and optimal conditions for coffee cultivation in Panama.
The new PRESS Estate beans will be available at all PRESS Phoenix metro locations on drip at the café bar or available in bags of whole beans. Additionally, new limited-edition, single-origin beans from the PRESS Estate will be available through PRESS’ Allocation coffee program. These will be offered online quarterly. Like fine wine, each coffee harvest from the Panama farm will be unique as the weather, soil and other natural changes affect the beans.
PRESS has 13 Phoenix-area standalone cafes and six cafes inside Sprouts Farmers Markets. Monthly coffee subscriptions are also available and another way for guests to enjoy PRESS regularly.
