Their 100% Kona coffee is excellent and they ship to my APO address. The coffee and the company are great.John I have been buying Kona coffe from Hawaii Roasters for over a year. I always buy three at a time to get the free shipping.
I gave it to a friend who thought it was fabulous. Kona is traditionally very smooth coffee, and this is, but it's truly for strong dark coffee lovers. I'm a dark roast lover, but this was too strong for me - regardless of how I made it. So here's my advice: don't make it too strong - it becomes bitter, and if you're not sure you like dark roasts.go with the light roast here.
However, I only ask those in Hawaii who farm and roast these beans to forgive me for saying that I think Konas are a bit overrated in the world of coffee.Yes, these beans have a lot of flavor. Everything is balanced in a way that is unique to the Kona bean, but there are no subtle undertones prevalent that make me like the Sumatran and Ethiopian beans so much better.
For someone who prefers coffee from other regions, Kona still stacks up well, but a purchase for me was to simply try something new rather than to look for a new regular. I pay about $12-13 a lb for coffee that might not be better than Kona coffee, but I like it better.
The beans are aesthetically perfect in every way, and I only have to use about 2/3 the portion of what I would use to make my favorite brews, but this is where it gets touchy for me. No coffee is worth that to me, and I've tasted the world's finest.Hawaii Growers is very competitively priced compared to other Konas, so if Kona coffee is the drinker's coffee of choice, then Hawaii Growers is a great choice.
Kona coffee is world reknowned as being some of the best in the world, and I can speak with experience knowing that this domestic blend compares favorably with some of the best. The body is unrivalled.
Hawaii Growers makes a mighty fine coffee, one of the best Konas I've ever tasted, but it isn't worth more than $25 a lb.
I grind my own coffee so I have only tried the whole bean dark roast and it is the best I have had in years. I have also made it the coffee standard in our office. I have been drinking coffee for well over twenty years and I have finally found a bean that suits my taste buds. If you are a Kona coffee lover than this is the end of the road for you.
I'm so glad I can get it through Amazon.com now. Hawaii Roasters is definitely the best coffee I've had. If you love Kona coffee, you have to try this.
