el salvador los pirineos is a honey processed bourbon varietal from el salvador, roasted by press coffee. honey processing leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, which pulls sweetness into the cup alongside the natural character of the coffee. expect bright citrus up front, lemon and grapefruit with a bit of zest, then red apple and stone fruit in the mid-palate, settling into honey, honeycomb, milk and dark chocolate, and almond. it has enough acidity to work well as a pour over but enough body and sweetness to hold up in a longer brew like a chemex or aeropress.

about press coffee - the roastery
the thing about press coffee is how they've turned a strip mall spot on 32nd street into something that makes you forget about drive-throughs entirely. sure, phoenix has plenty of coffee options, but when 740 people give you 4.5 stars, you're doing something right beyond just grinding beans. what hooks you isn't flashy equipment or instagram-worthy latte art. it's the way they approach roasting like it actually matters. each batch gets the attention most places reserve for their signature drinks. you can smell the difference when you walk in, that deep, complex scent that only comes from beans roasted with intention rather than efficiency. regulars line up here because consistency isn't an accident. the baristas know coffee, not just buttons to push. and in a city where strip malls often hide the best food, press proves that great coffee doesn't need a trendy address, just people who care about what they're serving.
