Anyone Into Coffee?

[Myles B. Astor]

Had the worlds' best coffee this AM. 100% Hawaiian Kona Mountain Ka'u Coffee we brought back from our honeymoon. Sold by the Kona Mountain company, this medium roast coffee is ultra-smooth and nutty tasting without any nuts. You could drink tons of this without blinking!

Thanks Myles. I'll have to give it a try. My usual is fresh ground Dunkin' Donuts made at home.

Yum. Kona is great coffee.

I have a Keurig VUE. I'm too lazy to mess with a French Press.

looks like a winner, the cost is attractive too. kona beans seem to double in price when it gets to the mainland, their drought hasn't helped.

I buy green beans ( Ethiopian Harrar or Yirga Cheffe) either from Sweet Maria's in Oakland CA or locally from Frank @ Chazzano here in MI.
I roast them and grind them myself. Gotta tweak it.....
It's as fresh as it can be.
The whole process reminds me of the ritual and rewards of cleaning and playing vinyl
All the best,
Tom

The Kona we bought was actually about $15 less a pound than we pay in NY. And better.

I've heard wonderful reports about Kona...I'm sure it's great... Cheapskate that I am... I can buy 5 lbs of unroasted beans for $28-$35..
The benefit that appeals to me ...I can tweak the roasting curve and get exactly what i want and save a few 4 in the process :celebrate008_2:

You drink a lot of coffee! We only have coffee at home on weekends. Otherwise, it's usually DD swill. That's why I look forward to weekends!

When I was in SF this past April, saw a lot of small roasters at the Farmers Market on the pier! And lot's of other great things too. Am still getting some of that olive oil shipped to me.

I think they do. Check the website.

Seriously? :weird: I guess if you are out of Maxwell House or Folgers, Dunkin' Donuts will do. Seriously, Starbucks beans such as Kenyan, Colombian, or Ethiopian will blow Dunkin' Donuts through the doughnut hole and into the weeds.

Tom-You are a serious coffee connoisseur. What kind of roaster do you have?

 

[mep]

The annual output of real Kona coffee is very limited and the amount that actually leaves the island is even smaller which is why the price is so high and why Kona coffee is probably the most counterfeited in the world. You have to be very careful where you buy your "Kona" beans. Ditto for Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans.
