Valley-based Press Coffee, the first Arizona roaster to offer its cold-press coffee on tap, is now selling it in cans.
Unlike iced coffee – which is hot coffee poured over ice or refrigerated – Press’ cold brew is steeped in cold water for 20 hours, making it smoother, sweeter, and more caffeinated.
According to food industry tracker Datassential, cold-brew sales nationwide have grown 425% in the last four years.
“I don’t think anybody imagined the cold brew market would become what it is today at the pace it has,†Press co-owner Alex Mason says.
The roaster began kegging its cold brew in 2013, and it recently expanded its brewing system to produce the equivalent of 10,000 cups a week.
“This expanded production allows us to provide this great drink to even more of Arizona,†Mason says.
On Saturday, May 4, Press will be giving away free cans with the purchase of a draft cold brew at its eight locations in the Valley, including two in Tempe and one in Chandler.
