Is Your Kona Coffee Really from Kona?

October 5, 2019 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

A dark joke in Kona for years has been that Kona grows 3 million pounds of coffee each year while 5 million pounds of Kona Coffee is sold. Now a new class action lawsuit claims it isn't 5 million, it is 20 million pounds of coffee labeled "Kona" that is being fraudulently sold on the world market. The class action lawsuit by three Kona coffee farmers claims that larger retailers including …

Coffee Makes Me Happy

October 5, 2019 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

It is 6 am we have get up and go to work. We feel sleepy, unhappy and some of us, like me, feel grouchy. So the first stop is the coffee brewer for a cup of great coffee. A few minutes later the world looks better. We feel warmer and happier. We are ready for a new day. Why? Most of us think it is the caffeine that is making us feel good, but it isn't the caffeine. The caffeine in coffee does …

Just brush your teeth, your coffee is going to taste bad. Didn’t brush your teeth and ate scampi last night, your first sip of coffee is going to taste bad. Sometimes you have to give the coffee a chance. If it is not your mouth it could be …

Bad Grinder, Bad Coffee

April 14, 2019 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

Once in a while, we receive complaints that our coffee has changed and now tastes bad. Since both Laura and I cup every roast for consistency and quality before we bag the beans, we know that it wasn't the beans.It is epidemic in our society to refuse to take blame. It is always someone else's fault. If you rob a liquor store it is the owner's fault for leaving cash in the till. If you lie to the …

Where Have Your Coffee Beans Been?

March 8, 2019 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

When we buy food products in developed countries we assume that the food is safe to eat. However, almost all coffee comes from third world counties where there is no FDA and no Safe Food Practices Act. The saving grace for coffee is that it is roasted at temperatures that remove bacteria and viruses that could harm us. As far as we can tell, no one has gotten salmonella or botulism from roasted …

Personally, we are elated that we are selling a healthy drink However, we wonder how many of these claims are really "snake oil."

Please Freeze Our Coffee Beans

October 7, 2018 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

For a number of years there has been a war among coffee gurus over the best way to store roasted coffee. There are pro-freezer proponents, pro- refrigerator proponents and dark cabinet proponents. The proponents are all dogmatic and have no respect for each other's opinion. Periodically, a new opinion appears and the war erupts again. Humans use two methods of decision making, intuition and …
