About Pressed-Coffee

Pressed Coffee was started with a passion for coffee, community, and entrepreneurship. As a Black woman born in Guyana and raised in Brooklyn, NY, supporting local, minority-owned businesses has always been important to me. So naturally, I wanted to create a space to celebrate it all. The ultimate goal is to open a café in Brooklyn and continue to support brands and communities of color.

Pressed started as an idea and is now involved in a partnership with a family-owned farm in Costa Rica. The aim is to bring awareness to their craft and process, do my part to bolster a minority-owned business, and work together to create a signature roast blend. 

As a Black woman, I hope that one day my brand and coffee will inspire hope, awareness, and success, empowering more people of color to create space in areas in which we’ve never had exposure.
