Best coffee
This is the best coffee I have ever tasted. My son, daughter-in-law and daughter second that.
Great Coffee - Bad Grind
Fantastic coffee, but the french press grind was a fine grind rather than coarse which was a big disappointment.
Aloha in a cup!
Best coffee we have had, truly! We visit Hawaii often, lived there for a little while & missed our Kona. THIS is perfect. So worth the price. Mahalo nui loa!
Smooth and flavorfull
We have been receiving this Kona for several years, and it has been consistently great. Perfect breakfast brew, very smooth, never bitter. Excellent with pastries, muffins, or fruit.
The Best Kona!!! - Highly Recommended!
Last winter I decided to spend a little extra and got this Kona. Myself and guests to our house could not believe the flavor of this coffee. It has to be the best we've ever tasted! So I got another one in spring. Now that it's almost Fall I'm going to splurge and get another!! Just hope it's as tasty as the last ones!! ;-)
Coffee to Water Ratio
Using the correct amount of coffee will ensure that your coffee is brewed to strength, without over-extracting or under-extracting the coffee to compensate for an inappropriate dose. We recommend 2 grams of coffee for every fluid ounce of water used to brew. Weighing coffee is the most accurate way to measure the appropriate dose. If a scale is not available, we recommend 2 heaping tablespoons of ground coffee for every 5 ounces of water used to brew.
Grind Size
Producing the correct particle size in ground coffee is one of the most important steps in coffee brewing. In general, a finer grind will produce a more intense brew and a coarser grind will produce a less intense brew. At the same time, a grind that is too fine will produce an over-extracted, astringent brew, and a grind that is too coarse will produce a weak, under-extracted brew lacking flavor. In pour-over methods, grind size also affects the rate of extraction, as water will pass more slowly through a finer grind, and more quickly through a coarser grind. We strongly recommend burr grinders over blade grinders.
Water Temperature and Quality
Water temperature dramatically affects the extraction of coffee’s flavor during brewing. We recommend brewing with water at 200-202° Fahrenheit for best results. Using fresh, clean, chlorine-free water is essential.
