„You can order it fresh from Hawaii but then it'd cost half as much as your machine (for a pound or two). As much as -- if you were to try the Peaberry Kona, which I sampled briefly on Oahu and much preferred. I haven't been a Kona fan due to its characteristic acidity but this was pleasantly absent in the peaberry. Kona fans might be horrified :-) “

„Kona coffee is one of the most sought after coffees in the world. The best coffee in Hawaii is harvested on small farms on the slopes of Mount Loa above the Pacific and is wet-processed. The Hawaiian climate provides the perfect cloud cover to prevent the intense rays from the sun, creating what is called automatic shade. Coffee in Hawaii is often of the Typica cultivar. Interestingly, coffee in Hawaii is grown at a relatively low altitude which is said to produce an inferior tasting coffee. However, Hawaiian coffees often display the density, color, and acidity of high grown coffees. Quality is not necessarily a factor of the altitude, but more likely is a factor of how slowly the coffee is grown.“

„Kona, on the southwest coast of Hawaii, the largest island of the Hawaiian chain, produces the most famous and the most traditional of Hawaiian coffees. Coffee has been grown in smaller quantities elsewhere on the islands since the early days of European settlement, but encouraged by the impending closure of sugar and pineapple plantations and the tourism-induced popularity of Hawaiian coffee, large commercial concerns now have established plantations on the islands of Kauai and Molokai. Similar efforts soon may follow on other islands.“

„It's a mild cup (like most Island coffees), and brighter than most Konas. As a peaberry, it tends to roast a tad fast so you need to keep a close eye on the "degree of roast." This is especially true since it really shimmers at a City to City+ roast, and like other Hawaiian coffees can go a bit flat in the dark roast stages. Don't let the roast get away from you! The body is light and this suits the overall light intensity of the cup.“

„Hawaiian Kona. The tiny Kona growing district on the southwest coast of Hawaii, the "Big Island" of the Hawaiian chain, produces the most famous and the most traditional of Hawaiian coffees. Entirely hand-picked, wet-processed and from trees of a splendid local strain of typica called Guatemala, Kona is grown on clusters of tiny farms above the Pacific on the lower slopes of Mount Hualalai and Mauna Loa.“
