Single Origin Kauai Prime Grade Medium Roast Whole Bean - 1.5 lb

All the Hawaiian coffee at the grocery stores is only a small percent of Kona Hawaiian coffee. Ordering online I was able to get 100% Hawaiian Kona coffee.

Very fresh and a good value considering it is 100% Kona coffee.

Tastes like coffee. Pretty good. Really enjoy it but think it's partly that I know it's from Hawaii, the Garden Isle of Kauai. Makes me imagine fragrant green forests, lush soil, and tropical richness rarely positioned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Brings to mind all the effort that goes into coffee fruits grown well, sorted, picked and roasted at their peak, then hermetically sealed in festive-looking, aluminum lined bags, and shipped quickly from halfway to the other side of the world to my humble Southern doorstep. Thoughts to savor while enjoying a good cup of coffee. Maybe I should just buy cheaper coffee and invest in coffee table books of South American rain forests, but I don't mind splurging for such a good story accompanying my morning sips. It's much more affordable than visiting Hawaii regularly and easier to fit into my morning before work. I've had much more expensive 100% Kona and such, but still really enjoy this.

We have been buying the 10% mix for a few years, found this pure mix a couple of weeks ago. After trying it my wife and I decided that it's not really any better than the mix and certainly not enough to be worth the 2x cost. It's good, just not better enough to justify the extra cost.

Well, I'm not much of a coffee connoisseur, but after trying lots of coffee beans from the grocery store I at least know there is a huge difference and I eventually settled for the taste of "Kona" labelled ones (which only have a tiny amount of actual Kona beans though). I did not even know yet those beans come from Hawaii, I just preferred the taste. Then two years or so ago we spent a week on Hawaii and I got some 100% Kauai beans (much more affordable over there) and was blown away by how much I loved the taste. Ever since I'm ordering this one off Amazon every month (drinking only a few cups a day at home and using something cheaper for the office). Note that the same Kauai Coffee company also sell a version which looks just the same but is only 10% Kauai grown beans (and it's not horrible either, in fact it's what I drink at the office) - but this one is the 100% Kauai beans and just amazing. (Unfortunately just have to trust the freshness, there is a best-by date on it but no roasting date or anything (but I assume the difference is about a year) and so far I have been lucky with always getting bags roasted only a month or two earlier by that calculation).

We visited this Kauai coffee plantation earlier this year. A few years ago we went to a Kona plantation on the Big Island too. I'm convinced that Hawaiian coffee rivals the best in the world. Do yourself a favor and visit Hawaii. It's heaven for coffee lovers. This particular selection of beans is a smooth, well-balanced, delicious brew when coupled with a good grinder and clean water. One of my favorites. I’ve ordered this selection many times through Amazon. I highly recommend Kauai Coffee Company and a visit to the plantation in Kalaheo. Aloha!

My experience: If you really want a good cup of Kona coffee, you must go to the islands. This coffee is ok but kinda ordinary and not really worth the money. Also, beans are roasted on the dark side medium. I prefer a lighter roast. To me, dark roast tends to be more burned and more bitter tasting. Second time I purchased this coffee; the last time it had more flavor, not as dark roasted. Probably not going to purchase it again. Still looking for that Kona coffee like I had in Hawaii. Unable to purchase it on line at a reasonable price anywhere.

Good coffee!

Love this coffee. More affordable than Kona, low acidity, smooth flavor.
