What Color is Your Roast?

May 2, 2022 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

Every bag of coffee has a roast name on the bag. The name should inform the buyer what to expect when she opens the bag. Unfortunately, while there are some standard terms for coffee roast levels the terms are interpreted differently by each roaster. The standard terms are light, medium, medium-dark and dark. But one roaster’s medium-dark can be another roaster’s medium or even dark. It gets even …

My Coffee Pot Died!

February 3, 2022 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

For a few years, I have been making a cup of coffee every morning with a Hario Coffee King. I bought it because it pulses water into a V60 dripper, so I am getting a pour over cup without having to do a manual pour over. Lately, however the coffee seems thin and watery. I checked and the brew water is 180F. I asked Laura to double check, and she agreed.  I checked Hario sites, and they are not …

Time for a Brewing Checkup

February 2, 2022 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

January is a good time to review your brewing to see if you are losing out on flavor. It is not uncommon for coffee lovers to ignore slight changes in flavor that multiple over time. We often get complaints about out medium roast coffees from customers who have been drinking dark roast coffees. When they switch to medium roasts, they can taste the off flavors in their brewing that they were …

Kona Coffee is Changing

December 19, 2021 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

When we started farming in Kona we were struck by two things 1) buyers who said that Kona Coffee was overrated and overpriced and 2) Kona Coffee farmers who said Kona Coffee was the best in the world and it didn't need to improve. We heard these two statements or variations of them, over and over. Neither statement made any sense to us. Anything overvalued or overpriced gets pushed out of the …

Laura Ross: Hula Daddy’s Award-Winning Roaster

November 9, 2021 //  by webadminx//  Leave a Comment

Forbes Magazine recognized Laura Ross as one of the “Top 12 USA Coffee Roasters.” Ten years ago, we placed an online ad for a tour leader. Laura applied for the job. She had been working for the Mauna Kea but wanted a change. We liked her and trained her to do tours. She was outstanding and the visitors loved her. At the same time, we decided to do our own roasting and were installing a new …

Laboratory Created Coffee

November 1, 2021 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

Consumers are being bombarded by scientific news releases claiming breakthroughs in lab produced food like beef, kangaroo, chicken, honey, horse, shrimp, cheese, foie gras and mouse (cats only). Almost a hundred years ago, “Brave New World” and “1984” predicted a society, in which, the government controls food production through lab-based substitutes. In the 1973 movie “Soylent Green (soy …

Brewing a Better Pod

September 9, 2021 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

A few years ago, we bought a pod machine and started offering Hula Daddy pods. The experiment lasted about two months. We realized that the ground coffee in the pods went stale very quickly. We don’t offer Hula Daddy pods for that reason. The use by date on coffee pods on supermarket shelves is 6 to 12 months. Long before the use by date the coffee has gone stale. It doesn’t taste bad; it just …

Espresso Yourself!

August 2, 2021 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

Espresso is an Italian word describing a coffee drink in which a small amount of nearly boiling water is forced under pressure through finely ground coffee. The word espresso is said to convey several meanings beyond the name of the drink as in, expressing the flavor from the coffee beans, or creating an express (fast) cup of coffee or making one cup expressly for an individual. In many …

Salty Coffee!

March 31, 2021 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

An old trick to improve coffee flavor is to add salt to the coffee either before or after brewing. It was popular when roasted beans staled in open bins and paper bags. It was also popular for low grade, high acid coffees. In the United States salting coffee has been replaced by sugar. However, it is still popular in some European countries. Salt like sugar dulls the palate so that bitterness …
