Chicago French Press is a Black-owned, woman-owned coffee company specializing in freshly roasted specialty coffee, flavorful blends, and premium loose-leaf teas. Founded in 2017 by entrepreneur Kris Christian, the Chicago-based brand combines quality coffee, ethical sourcing, and community investment with a mission to make exceptional coffee accessible to more people.

Chicago French Press offers a wide selection of signature coffee blends, including its Original Blend, Black Tuxe Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, Maple Pecan, Chocolate Blueberry, Vanilla Bean Blossom, and Salted Caramel Crème. Its collection includes single-origin coffees, organic varieties, and specialty flavored blends designed for customers who enjoy rich flavors without relying on excessive sweeteners.

The company roasts its coffee in Chicago using electric roasting technology and sources beans through partnerships that emphasize fair compensation for farmers, including women coffee growers around the world. Customers can purchase whole-bean coffee or choose grinds suitable for drip coffee makers, French presses, and Keurig brewing systems.

In addition to coffee, Chicago French Press offers premium loose-leaf teas, coffee subscriptions, gift bundles, and products for home brewing. Its cafés provide convenient places to enjoy freshly prepared coffee and tea throughout Chicago.

Community investment is central to the brand’s mission. Through its Grinding for a Cause initiative, Chicago French Press supports nonprofit organizations focused on women, youth, education, and economic opportunity.

With cafés in the South Loop, Hyde Park, Near South Side, and University Village, along with nationwide online shopping, Chicago French Press brings its locally roasted coffee to customers throughout Chicago and beyond.
