I saw this on ebay. 4 pounds for 55 bucks shipped. Couldn't resist. The beans are nice and big, even size, good color. Nice packaging. The first roast I stopped the roast just as first crack was ending, but the coffee had a grainy raw taste, so I decided to change my roast style with the next...

I was on holidays in Hawaii a few years back and had some of the best coffee there. I brought back a few pounds of 100% Kona. Well that didn't last long! Anyhow, I'm looking for a reliable source to purchase 100% Kona coffee. I don't mind paying a premium for great coffee. Thanks for your help.

Tim's Great Cigars 74-5602 Alapa St Kailua-Kona HI 96740 808-329-3663 This place used to be owned by Tim, but he sold it a while ago. I don't know the new owners name (which is sort of embarrasing, since I tend to go there a couple times a month), but he's a nice guy. The store is tiny, but...

I was given a very special gift at last weeks Shack herf. Raisin,one of the top home roasters here gifted me a 1/2# of Home Roasted Kona. I ground the beans this morning and along with my Mother-n-Law, we drank a 12 cup pot. The coffee was true to Kona form,very bold and deep rich aroma. The...

I have never considered myself a coffee gourmet - I enjoy a good cup of coffee just like anyone else. For some reason, my love of cigars seems to have heightened my sense for the subtle flavors in a cup o' joe (I dont know why this is, I suppose that it is the magic of cigars). I can taste the...

What can you guys tell me about Kona beans? I get this stuff at my grocery store called "Kona Blend" and I love it. Just curious what everyone else thinks of them.

I just recently got into home roasting. I am very happy I did. I just got a shippment in of 8lbs of Kona Beans from the big Iland. Holy Smokes they are very smooth. I have been roasting a variety of different beans from Costa Rican to African. The Costa Rican are very good also. The different...

I was just wondering if anyone knows of a kona taste alike? I love medium roast kona, but the price is....well.....about 5 or 6 good cigars a pound. So I am looking for an alternative that is similar. I have tried a Nicaraguan Hue Hue Tenengo which was similar, but had a slight bitterness that...

I've from these places a couple times. The coffee is soooo good, and you can get macadamia nuts straight from the island Holualoa Kona Coffee Company www.konalea.com From here I would recommend the dark "Coffee Shack" roast. That's the one roasted in a drum roaster. The air roasted is good...

Well, as a total noob to coffee roasting, I know it’s sacrilege to even think of roasting Kona coffee beans for your first coffee roast. But if it’s the only green beans you have, you don’t have much of a choice. My Mother lives in Kona, Hawaii (she moved there three years ago) for the...

.. roasted it to a C+++. maybe a light FC. After letting it rest for a couple days ( I still cant get over the smell when you open the container of coffee thats been resting, they should make cologne that smells like that:p ) I ground some up and made it in the FP. Ive never really been...
