Press Coffee Roasters

Excellent, delicious coffee. I’m always adventuring to experience new coffee stores to drink hot Lattes. So far, I have not found a place that’s better than Coffee Press Roasters. Also. Love the friendly staff.

My husband and I ordered Chai Tea lattes with a shot of espresso. It was the best Chai I have had in Arizona. I wish we lived closer to this coffee shop! We will for sure return, every time we are close. Great coffee shop.

This is a good coffee shop. It’s clean and it’s in a great location. The craft coffee is really fantastic. The atmosphere is perfect for meeting a friend or getting some work done. Wifi works great just ask for password at the counter. I like that they have some coffee swag for sale to browse while in line.

This place needs more stars! Amazing coffee/​espresso. Love the remodel. If there had to be a negative it would only be that they need a bigger space. Favorite coffee shop in Phoenix.

Great stop by when in the Scottsdale quarter. I love coffee no secret there. And I don’t mean specialty coffee drinks I mean just simple black coffee with great roasted beans where the flavor speaks for itself. This place has it all. They do have your fancier coffee drinks but don’t shy away from the classic pour over. It’s good morning in a cup!
Great service, friendly staff, with charming décor. Stop by for a quick cup before shopping you can’t go wrong.

Their beans are awesome. Yup, that’s how I’m starting this review because I think it’s the most important thing to communicate. Get their brewed coffee, and you’re golden, because this is a legit Third Wave house that does it right. Yes, you’ll have to wait a bit, but it’s worth it for rich, properly roasted brew. The interior is modern and welcoming, and there’s always seating. And I’ve always found the service to be gloriously unsnotty for a high end coffee place in a high end area of Phoenix.

Great great espresso — I typically get espresso or an americano, totally worth waiting in line for, I just wish they would remodel and align the point of sale with the flow of customers, sooner or later I have faith, the remodel will be worth it, the espresso is amazing!

Coffee is really good. The baristas are top notch. The service is not fast, but it is personal. Which helps make the ambiance so pleasant. The space is small though, so not a huge hangout place, but quaint and enjoyable. I love to drink my coffee from a mug while I people watch. There is a constant flow of regulars coming and going. It’s cool to see the baristas recognize their customers and already know what special concoction they need to get started on.

Who doesn’t enjoy a nice cup of Joe? Press Coffee is one my my favorites when I want to enjoy some good coffee. You can’t beat this location either. If you’re walking around Scottsdale Quarter it’s easy to walk right in and get yourself a nice cup of Joe. Staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is warming. They have enough tables for you to sit around on your laptop too if you feel like getting some work done. If you’re not into coffee they also make an excellent cup of hot chocolate!

Press Coffee Roasters is a fantastic coffee shop in Scottsdale Quarter that I met up with a friend at yesterday. The place was packed at 2:00PM, we were lucky to find a table outside.
I had a white mocha, excellent balance of coffee and sweetness from the white chocolate. My friend has a cappuccino and said it was perfect.
Beautiful modern interior. Probably about ten tables inside and a few tables outside. Outside is great for people watching.
Friendly, helpful staff!
I highly recommend checking Press Coffee out! Be patient though, they only make one drink at a time to ensure that its done right!
Enjoy!

My espresso was burnt tasting and bitter. I think they extracted at too high a temperature? My husband’s Americano was okay though.
I do like the style of cups they use because you don’t need a sleeve when the drinks are very hot.

I need to start by insisting that I’m no fan of labels. They always fail to adequately describe their subject. Yet, no matter how hard I try to dodge them, a few consistently stick. I’ve been called a: hipster, foodie, coffee snob. I don’t wish to fill ANY of those shoes, but I would like to focus on the last one for a moment.
COFFEE SNOB:
I place full blame for this particular label on Press Coffee. Why? I’ll tell you why. It’s because Press has RUINED me for «lesser coffee». The PHENOMENAL difference evident in the quality of Press’s coffee has set me on the realest of personal journeys. **Press is what taught me how to begin appreciating coffee for coffee.
Before tasting a Press Coffee pour-​over, I drank my coffee «light and sweet». That’s just how I knew to order coffee and it’s what I knew I liked. It was quite a big leap to taste a coffee «black». But I did, and I’ve never been the same since.
Now, when I make my own coffee at home, I employ everything I’ve learned since that first taste of «real» coffee: I use Press Coffee beans exclusively (of course). I hand grind those beans. I pour over or I AeroPress or I french press. I drink the coffee black and savor the profile of that specific bean.
Since that first taste of Press coffee, I have visited every coffee roaster within reasonable driving distance of Phoenix. While there are several notably delicious options nearby (Cartel, Cave Creek, Cortez, and Royal to name a few), Press Coffee Roasters still sits comfortably at the top of my list.
I introduce friends to Press Coffee any chance I get. I order enough to share with coworkers. Sometimes I even bring my beans and gadgets into work with me just to share the delicious aromas and flavors with my team! I love coffee; but I am IN love with Press coffee.
ANOTHER THING:
The service. I cannot express the depth of my personal satisfaction with the type of service I can always expect at this location. The baristas are ALWAYS happy to help with recommendations, always excited about their brand and always SUPER knowledgeable about their coffee and techniques. Nowhere else have I come across such creative, passionate, and competent baristas.
ONE OTHER OTHER THING:
The atmosphere. This location recently underwent a complete remodel and the finished product is utterly stunning. Considering the small space they occupy, the setup is ingenious and warm and inviting. I love everything about it. I’m confident you will, too.
DISCLAIMER:
Forgive the flowery text of this review, but I really do mean every word. Press makes some of the very best coffee around and, if you haven’t yet been to taste this for yourself, you’re SORELY missing out. Stop by some time, tell the barista that you’d like to try a pour-​over, and let them make a recommendation for you. It will change your life. I’m serious.
***WARNING: Experiencing a Press Coffee pour-​over will RUIN you for any Starbucks or Dutch Bros. You may even find yourself walking around with a big «COFFEE SNOB» tattooed to your unwitting forehead. (But I assure you — it’ll be worth it!)
NOTE FOR PRESS:
Press Crew, you people rock. Honestly. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results of your hard work. I look forward to your smiles and passion every time I walk through that front door. THANK you for being so consistently wonderful. Especially you, Elizabeth. ;)

Look I’m a coffee lover, I don’t want to check on Cartel but I was at Scottsdale Qtr and I wanted a coffee fast so I walked to Press coffee.
The line was out the door so I decided that I’ll make a stop. The coffee wasn’t bad… Blah customer service but it was my first time there so I’ll cut them so slack.
All in all the coffee wasn’t bad now would I trade it for Cartel no way but it’s a good second place!

Visited this location on Sunday morning. Great flavor on my drip coffee and reasonable price. 2 $ for a 12 oz I think.
Also ordered a Morning Glory muffin — I forget what that means, but it was good!
They had one person taking orders and one making the drinks so I ended up waiting about 10 min total before I got my coffee.
And FYI the drip coffee is just poured into your cup. It’s not the grind your beans, single filter it into your cup, kind of drip coffee. Not like Echo Coffee — they say drip coffee and it takes at least 5 min to drip your coffee individually.
Still a very good cup of coffee in an area that’s full of Starbucks and other sub-​par coffee spots.

The kind of place that tells you how to order your drink. Barista refused (or wasn’t trained) to make a proper cortadito unless in a paper cup and insisted that I order a weak iced 16oz latte, when this is quite far from what I wanted. Rather expensive in relation to FANTASTIC coffee houses like Lux or Cartel in Arizona or Blue Bottle, Four Barrel, Sight Glass etc in Northern California. Unfortunately, they use low quality non-​organic, high sugar content Kirkland/​Costco brand milk and soy products — even Starbucks uses better quality organic products. They appear to ruin any chance at having a decent tasting drink by choosing cheap ingredients. Also as other reviewers have noted the baristas/​employees are on the pretentious side and the vibe is rather sterile.
Update ¹¹⁄₂: Went back to try again since there are no other decent coffee shops for miles in the area I’m visiting except chains. I ordered a macchiato. The expresso is still too acidic, but customer service was better. I still would recommend avoiding and going to Maverick (has Ritual from SF) or Sip Coffee or sticking to the chain coffee shops.

Press just reopened after a quick remodel — they advertised a new capability — nitrogen infused cold brew, so had to give it a try — wasn’t a huge fan of the cold brew the last time, and, while better with the nitrogen infusion (makes it look and feel like a freshly pulled Guinness), it’s still not my cup of tea… er…coffee.
I’ll go back to my old standby of cappuccinos or shots of espresso.
Also, love their Twitch beans for the Jura machine at home.

Meander through the nooks & crannies that make up outdoor mall Scottsdale Quarter & find Press Coffee Roasters. The baristas we spoke with were well-​versed in the language of coffee, their passion evident in their strong opinion of San Francisco roasters. Now that’s a conversation I like to throw myself into!
Though the sample of cold brew was extra smooth & delicious, I needed something with less power behind it. Iced latte flavored with white chocolate was amazing, definitely one of the best iced coffees I’ve had in a long, long time. Not too sweet, not too bitter; just a very drinkable cool-​me-​down & rev-​me-​up in a cup.
My barista asked, «whole milk ok?» & the allure of creamy, full-​fat dairy, something I never allow myself for various reasons, was too great to overcome. I love that almond milk is offered, but man — the power of suggestion *is* a powerful thing, & I succumbed to an ice-​cold sip of bliss.

I just love little coffee shops like this! I ordered an Americano with just a splash of almond milk and it was SO GOOD! The espresso was nice and smooth and didn’t have a burnt taste.
The coffee shop also has an assortment of loose leaf teas that you can enjoy and offers some nice looking baked goods.
Don’t drink dairy milk? No problem! They offer soy and almond milk.

First of all, I love that they do free refills on their coffee, especially since I work across the street.
It’s a small location, but it’s packed all the time! They have great iced coffee, but even better hot coffee. It’s jam packed with caffeine which makes a huge difference when you’re falling asleep while walking into work.
The staff is really sweet and very talkative so it’s a nice place to interact with others.
I guess the location can be inconvenient for people who are just trying to pick up something quick and jump in the car and go… Since street parking is extremely limited and parking garage experiences can be a pain, so just keep that in mind.
Food wise, you HAVE to try one of their breakfast burritos, the ingredients are incredibly fresh and well priced for being in Scottsdale Quarter.

3 stars for the tea so what killed the other two stars .
The barista seemed busy and in different to her job. Not very engaging or warm (perception mine) never asked if I wanted the beverage here or to go. pet peeve of mine. I hate drinking out if paper cups if I don’t have to. The tea itself was simple enough to not mess up but then when I asked for creamer — they were out and upon notifying the staff they seemed irritated more than concerned about it. (She was busy I must admit) I’m sure they refilled it but I was already at my chair and never quiet knew when the refilled it or what not.
The croissant I ordered seems old. No warming it up or even asking it I wanted it warmed up. I thought this was a given. Heck who eats cold rough croissants. Again this could be a one off and I’m sure it’s a nice place.
The ambience is pleasant and like it should be. I liked the art work on the wall for sale and like to see coffee shops be constructive with their wall space. Very nice.
I hear the coffee is good and I haven’t tried it yet but I will be back for it if I’m in the area and based on that I’ll update the review. It’s always good to see independents give the chain stores a run for their money. And when I do come back I hope to give it 5 stars
