„ Hawaii has long occupied a slot in the collective unconscious right next to the definition of paradise, and through the dedication and perseverance of nearly two centuries of cultivation, the name Kona has become nearly synonymous with coffee perfection. Now the other areas of the Islands are on pace to reach similar heights of quality. So it seems that for beach bums and coffee lovers alike, Mark Twain had it right when he wrote that Hawaii “is the only supremely delightful place on earth.”“

„From picking to roasting, farmers put the coffee through a variety of stages including depulping, fermenting, cleaning, drying and storing. These processes require much skill, dedication and passion on the part of the farmers to ensure the bean is ‘raised’ to the highest quality possible.“

„I gotta admire you, you are one of the few buyers that actually want to remain hands on, even to the point of doing repairs, this shows true dedication as well as I'm sure, saving alot on the maintenance bills. When I did espresso machine repair full time in Seattle, the bulk of the repairs were done well past the time when they should have been. The end result ends up costing even more money because it's a dominoe effect going on, and by the time the machine crosses its arms and sais I'm on vacation until you get someone down here to fix it, then you are too late, and much of the time are aging the entire machine prematurely.“
