About the Founder
A former Wall Street analyst turned coffee connoisseur, Kris Christian was born and raised in Memphis, TN and earned her degree in Business Management at Howard University. Tired of overloading her coffee with cream and sugar to make it palatable, Kris decided there had to be a way to actually savor the drink, not just tolerate it. Fueled by entrepreneurial savvy, she developed her own blends so rich in flavor, they barely need added sweetness. Her goal is to make gourmet, flavorful coffee accessible, so she uses her business to teach others how to brew a delicious cup at home.
Grinding for a Cause
Beyond robust brews, CFP is “grinding for a cause” and supports nationwide and local 501(c)3 organizations by donating a portion of it’s proceeds to charitable programs annually. Today, from seed to cup, Chicago French Press (CFP) is devoted to roasting and delivering quality coffee while supporting others in need. Learn more about our partners here.
