Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy Coffee - 100% pure, NOT A BLEND! Best from Hawaii - Roasted Beans in a 1lb Vacuum Sealed Re-closable Bag with one way degassing valve.

I've purchased several brands of Kona here on Amazon as well as had friends bring some back to me from their vacation in Hawaii. I was hesitant to order this based on the cost, which was significantly less per pound than many other brands. When the beans arrived, they were not particularly oily, nor did they exude a super fresh aroma, but they were also not stale and overly dry. They were comparable to most brands I've received (and I've found that if you order the same Kona over and over, every bag varies in how fresh/oily/aromatic it is, even though it is the same beans, same company). Most importantly, the coffee tastes very good. It is easily comparable to brands costing twice as much. There isn't a brand on Amazon with multiple reviews where someone isn't complaining that the coffee doesn't taste like "real" Kona or the "Kona I remember..." etc.. I didn't grow up in Hawaii and I've only visited once, but I order a lot of Kona. These beans produce a cup of coffee or expresso the taste of which falls within the same flavor range as every other quality brand I've tried. It's not bitter, it has the characteristic Kona flavor. I'd probably go with 4 stars instead of 5, but the value makes this brand a very good deal. For a price-conscious shopper, this is worth a try.

Okay. After trying 3 other Kona coffee’s from Amazon this is my favorite for sure. The unmistakable kona flavor and smooth almost chocolate velvety feel on the palate is what makes this the best Kona coffee for me. When you first open the bag the aroma is just fabulous and delightful. A lot of people mistakenly think that because the beans are not visibly oily that they aren’t fresh. This isn’t the case. I can’t remember ever seeing oily Kona coffee beans even when I was in Kona! But these beans and their flavor will knock your socks off they’re so good.

My husband loves Kona coffee because it is less acidic and bitter than most other kinds of coffee. However, it is also much more expensive than pretty much any other coffee. That said, this Kona coffee is a bit less expensive than others I've found in spite of its claim that it is not a blend. I asked him whether this or the other Kona coffee he loves is better, and he said he couldn't tell and would need to try them at the same time. That's a good sign, because he usually will tell me with certainty that the more expensive Kona coffee, which he tried first, is better than any other coffee. So if you love coffee, want to try something particularly good, and are willing to pay a little more for it, I'd definitely recommend this coffee.

I have sampled coffee from about the world. While I enjoyed peaberry from several farms I have never been happier with a coffee. This is perfect for morning joe or after a decadent dessert. The beans were the freshest I have ever purchased. Delicious rich not bitter, I will not be looking for coffee until this product changes.Update - I felt the need to attempt to reach the growers of this top of the line coffee. Whatever they are doing is the right thing to do and they are doing it right.While I am still in my first 10 pounds the consistency has been flawless. Each and every cup as wonderful as the last. Again, please forward my thanks and compliments on to those that produce this coffee.Thanks

From the first whiff, it draws you in with deep, rich tones and smooth smell. Upon first sip, you *know* this is how every day should start: with the best coffee available. Highly recommended!

Definitely not the taste I'm familiar with from a good Kona. Bland and lacking the rich earthy smell I associate with Kona beans. Not bad in flavor, but not sure I believe it to be 100% Kona beans.

considering the price (decent), I cannot expect too much. Like other reviews say, it is a fair/good 100% Kona, but i wanted something more fruity. Still the best Kona is from Honolulu Coffee (but it cost $30 for 7oz=200g plus shipping).

This stuff certainly doesn't taste like the 100% pure Kona coffee served in Hawaii. While this seller advertises the product as 100% pure Kona, they do not mark the package with this same statement, which leads me to believe it's not. I've done some research (and you can too by simply googling 100% pure Kona) and apparently unless it has this marking on the package (which is apparently required by the state of Hawaii), it's not the real deal. Was disappointed in the taste...wasn't nearly as smooth as the Kona I drink when in Hawaii. Way over priced for the taste.
