US speciality coffee roaster Press Coffee has acquired a coffee estate in Panama.

Founded in 2008, Press focuses on sourcing high-quality speciality coffee. The company operates 13 standalone cafés in the Phoenix area and six cafés inside Sprouts Farmers Markets, along with monthly coffee subscriptions for regular customers.

The new farm will allow Press to source beans directly from the origin.

The estate, located in the highlands of the Volcan Valley in western Panama, is known for its rich soil and ideal microclimate for coffee cultivation. The farm spans 70 hectares at an elevation of 1,800 to 2,300 meters, benefiting from volcanic soil that produces distinctive beans.

According to the company, each harvest from the Panama farm will be unique due to variations in weather and soil conditions.

Jason Kyle, co-owner of Press Coffee, said: “This coffee estate marks a significant milestone for our company. 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 new Press Estate beans will be available at all Press locations in the Phoenix metro area, offered as drip coffee at the café bar or in bags of whole beans. Additionally, limited-edition single-origin beans from the estate will also be available quarterly through the Press' Allocation coffee programme online.
