Gourmet Kona Coffee

A special treat created expressly for espresso enthusiasts. The profile for this particular roast was developed through taste testing on a La Marzocco three-group machine. The result is a golden brown crema and a clean finish without a hint of bitterness.  Order your gourmet Kona coffee as whole bean or espresso grind.

Hawaiian Gourmet Coffee: Whole Bean Or Espresso Grind?

Whether you chose whole bean or espresso grind, our gourmet Kona coffee will taste far superior to most of the coffee varieties available on the market today. But what is the best choice for you?

Espresso Grind

Ground coffee will maintain freshness for up to nine days. After that, air, humidity, and light will shorten the shelf life. The surrounding air will be absorbed into the coffee, and these odors can adversely affect the taste. If you choose to buy espresso grind, be sure to seal your coffee in an air-tight container and store in a cool, dry, and dark place. You can initially place your ground coffee in the freezer; just don’t return it to the freezer after you open the bag.

Whole Bean

Many coffee aficionados agree that ordering whole beans gives you the best results.  With whole bean coffee, the shelf life is about six weeks. This means, you can easily enjoy great tasting gourmet Kona coffee, cup after every delicious cup. Grinders can range from simple $10 models to complex $100 models. Some coffee makers offer built-in grinders. Don’t risk altering the pure flavor of gourmet Kona coffee; grind your coffee as close to brewing as possible. Also, store your whole beans in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place. Purchase true Hawaiian Kona coffee in whole bean form and taste difference grinding can make in your coffee.
