Many coffee brands that advertise their beans as "Kona" are blends, containing only ten percent beans from the highly desirable region, but these Aloha Island Gold beans are pure Kona, all from plants grown on the Big Island in the designated microclimate that produces some of the smoothest coffee beans in the world. While the Aloha brand may not be Hawaii's best, it is certainly one of the more available brands on the mainland. Store in the freezer to maintain optimal freshness, and grind the beans immediately before brewing.

For coffee connoisseurs, two phrases light up their eyes, "Jamaican Blue Mountain" and "Kona." If you want to give a gift sure to impress a sophisticated coffee drinker, you've found your beans.

Finally a coffee that is full of wonderful flavor without all of the bitterness and half of the acidity of regular coffee. I can drink as many cups as I want without worrying about getting a stomach ache! I will never go back to another coffee and will recommend this to everyone I know.

I absolutely love this coffee! It is extremely rich and smooth and without any of the bitterness that most other coffees have.
Don't let the cost of this coffee scare you because you will actually use less of this coffee when you brew so it really ends up costing about the same as any other "regular" coffee. I highly recommend it.

Yes, it's expensive. Most of the finer things in life are. Buy it whole bean, get a good burr grinder and a french press. You will not be dissapointed. Anyone that has a cup of joe at my house is blown away, even me...every time.

It seems there is never a place where I can buy a good 100% Kona here in the States. At last I found it! GOLD Estate Kona is the best Kona I have EVER had. I gave some to a co-worker down the hall and heard instant raves; this coming from a coffee gourmet. This brand is excellent. The reviews were right.

The directions in the package are just right. Follow them and taste the best coffee you've ever had.

Sticker on invoice: "We care about your satisfaction with our products and service. If you have any concerns or questions about your shipment, please call us toll free at..."

Who would think that getting coffee could be so difficult?! We had a problem and it had been arranged that the coffee would be exchanged. They sent a Fed Ex label and off it went. After 2 weeks, a call was placed to check status. Emma (Pres) relayed the shipment would go out immediately and apologized for the delay. Thought it was done... A few moments later, Anna calls back and goes into some diatribe with my wife not knowing what coffee is. If the president of the company resolved the issue, why is someone else from the company calling to stir it up?!

Another call back to speak with Emma and she apologized for the actions of Anna. The coffee and a "for your trouble" gesture would be sent along that day. They are located cross town about 10 miles away and most shipment are next day...nothing came.

A week passed and still nothing. Another call. Emma relays that it should have been taken care of and will call me back next day to confirm. Next day came, went...nothing. We are quite disappointed by this company. They got the $$ and we received empty words.

I gifted my brother and sister-in-law with this for Christmas and they enjoyed it very much. Their visitors smelled the coffee brewing and decided to stay longer. What a bunch of mooches.:-)

My husband loved the coffee and keeps it to brew for special occasions/guests.

We bought this coffee based on all the hype (Food & Wine Magazine, "handcrafted" , "Estate" , etc) but as serious coffee drinkers, we didn't feel this was worth the high price (especially when shipping is added). It had a pleasant, full bodied taste, but so do a lot of other, more easily available and less expensive coffees.

Starbucks for example, has enough different varieties of coffee where you'll find one blend very similar if not as good (or better) tasting than the much lauded Kona........just our $0.02

Not really, but she gave me this stuff for Christmas and I'm totally hooked. I got a gift card from a co worker and I'm going to blow it all on this coffee.

Oh well the kids don't really need private school do they? :)

Try it you won't regret it......
