  1. Have always been using the Kona…..after reading your review, it sounds like a lot of flavors packed into a cup…

    I love my coffee strong, so does the spicy taste makes the coffee bitter?

  2. Sorry Mike, think I worked it out… just ignore me…

    where’d I put my coffee…

  3. As a side question – if you don’t mind me asking – any ideas why my gravatar won’t show up on your site? Is your site a wordpress site?
    Thanks…

  4. Wow, sounds like quite a complex array of flavors to be packed into one cup! Not too overwhelming? Haven’t tried anything from Armeno. Which blends would you recommend for a bolder palate?

    • You may want to try the Armeno Black & Tan (bold) or the Sumatra Mandheling French Roast (bolder). I work with the guys at Armeno (in the interest of full disclosure) and the Sumatra French Roast is quite popular.

  5. One doesn’t usually expect a Hawaiian coffee to have the kind of full body to be “bold” (though it may have a ton of flavor). Usually it lacks the heavy mouth feel distinctive to say a Sumatra or Aged Sumatra. I too am a fan of the Hawaiian coffees. Starbucks produces two of them – Kona and Estate Kauai (I realize that I’m butchering the spelling here of it).

    I went to the Armeno website and it describes this category of coffee as light to medium body.

    At $16.95 a pound, that sounds like a reasonable price for this coffee.

    Mike, I genuinely am very intrigued by unusual coffees from Hawaii and so I just now purchased a 1/2 pound of the Maui Red to give it a try. They may laugh at the email address of Sbux206ATStarbucksMelodyDOTcom buying a 1/2 of their coffee. I shall report back to you what I think!

    • I read their description of it and I was thinking about that as I was tasting it. I felt that it was a heavier body, but of course that was just my opinion. I can’t wait to hear your opinion on it. I hope you don’t mind, I edited your email so no spammers get a hold of it. I’m sure the roasters will look at each other when they see your order!

      I haven’t seen any Hawaiian coffee at my local Starbucks locations, I’d love to try their versions, especially the Estate Kauai. After tonight, I feel like I opened up a whole new door to other Hawaiian coffees for myself.
