Premium Hawaiian Coffee is Kona Coffee
You really have to taste Kona coffee to understand why so many people love it. This coffee is Hawaii's hidden gem. Kona coffee originated in Brazil and the coffee plant was bought to the island in the nineteenth century. This coffee is today grown in many small farms on Hawaii. My favorite is the peaberry version, the one with the small coffee beans.

If you are going to go through the expense of having Kona coffee delivered to you, you might as well do it right. First off, buy the beans, don't buy the coffee already ground. Grind only as much coffee as you will consume in a day. I have measured how much it takes to fill my coffee press and I only grind one press full at a time. Oh, by the way, I don't use a coffee maker. I use a coffee press. Basically, a coffee press is a glass jar with a top piece that is attached to a plunger with a screen attached to it. You put the coffee in the bottom, pour hot water into the jar, let it brew for at least 4 minutes and then push down on the plunger which strains the coffee and keeps the coffee grounds on the bottom. This method of making coffee blows away my $200 Capresso coffee maker. Really, this $30 device makes the best coffee I've ever tasted.
If you buy Kona coffee, make sure it's not a blend, but 100% Kona coffee. Manufacturers of blends usually put in as much as 90% cheap coffee mixed in and you should not pay a premium for that. To start with, I would recommend you buy the smallest bag size of coffee to start. If you like it, buy the coffee beans in bulk to save some money. Personally, I like to buy my coffee beans fresh every month despite the higher cost. For me, freshness is the top consideration.
