Kona coffee is one of my favourite coffees. I could go on and on, but you really have to sample it to realise why folk like it so much. This coffee comes from the Huge Island of Hawaii. The coffee plant was brought to the island in the nineteenth century and was Brazilian in origin. Today, there are numerous little farms on Hawaii that grow this glorious sort of coffee.

First off, buy the beans, don’t buy the coffee already ground. I have measured how much it takes to fill my coffee press and I only grind one press full at a time. Oh, in reality, I don’t use a coffee maker. I use a coffee press. Essentially , a coffee press is a glass jar with a top piece that is attached to a plunger with a screen attached to it. You put the coffee in the bottom, pour hot water into the jar, let it brew for at least 4 minutes and then push down on the plunger which strains the coffee and keeps the coffee grounds on the bottom. This technique of making coffee blows away my $200 Capresso coffee maker. Really, this $30 device makes the best coffee I’ve ever tasted.

Enough with the coffee brewing lesson already. If you buy Kona coffee, confirm it is 100 pc Kona coffee. Don’t purchase a mix. I’d advocate you try the tiniest size available, sometimes an 8oz. If you adore it, by all means, save cash by ordering many pounds of coffee beans at a time. Personally, I really like to buy my coffee beans fresh each month regardless of the higher cost. For me, freshness is the top consideration.

You can search and review customer comments of many coffee beans online. There are many different types to choose from and there are several great suppliers out there. These include Starbucks, Coffee Beans Direct, Seattle’s Best and Kona Coffee.
