Is It Really Kona?

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

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 In the United States salting coffee has been replaced by sugar.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 …

Coffee Scooping

February 27, 2016 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

Hula Daddy Coffee Scoop When my grandmother made coffee, she used the scoop that came with the 5 lb. Hills Bros can and did what Hills Bros told her to do. She used one scoop for each mark on the side of her percolator. She didn't weigh the coffee, she didn't weigh the water, she didn't know what the water to solids ratio was. She did what she was told. It worked for her, my …

My Coffee Pot Lied

February 21, 2016 //  by Karen//  17 Comments

  We used to wonder why when we poured out a 12 cup coffee maker carafe that we never got 12 cups of coffee. We get the same question from our Hula Daddy farm visitors.  We now know the answer. On every automatic coffee maker the manufacturer puts measuring marks for the number of cups. If you buy a french press, Clever, siphon, Cafe Solo etc. the box says how many cups it …

Breaking the Dark Roast Paradigm

March 24, 2015 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

For years, specialty coffee has been stuck in the dark roast paradigm - roast coffee beans until they are dark and oily, brew the coffee and then add sugar and cream to kill the taste. Even better add sugar, cream, flavoring, give it a fancy Italian name and sell it for $6.00. Fortunately, coffee roasters are learning that while you can sell over roasted coffee to all of the customers some of the …

The Perfect Coffee Pot

February 27, 2015 //  by Karen//  9 Comments

The best way to brew gourmet coffee is still by hand in a french press, siphon or a pour over. However, automated coffee brewing methods are getting better. The perfect automated coffee brewer besides brewing a fantastic cup of coffee should be fast, convenient, easy to clean, always brew at 200 degrees F and provide a four minute extraction. So far no coffee pot meets all of those criteria. If …

Coffee Fraud

January 29, 2015 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

  Recently, a farmer in Napa was caught labeling Lake county wine as Napa, selling inferior wine as Cabernet and stealing grapes from other growers. He has been arrested and probably will go to prison. Could the same thing happen with coffee? Of course, the answer is "Yes." Any place there is money, there are people willing to cheat to get it. Fraudulent coffee occurs …

“What Color is Your Coffee Roast” by Karen Paterson

September 7, 2014 //  by Karen//  3 Comments

Visitors to the Hula Daddy Kona Coffee plantation ask us do we have dark roast, medium roast, or light roast. The answer in each case is “It depends on what you mean by dark, medium or light roast.” There is no standard definition for coffee roasts. One roaster's french roast is another roaster's medium roast. In most cases, the roast name on the package is the marketing name that the roaster …

Sweet Coffee by Karen Paterson

July 17, 2014 //  by Karen//  2 Comments

Most of the coffee sold and served in the world is bitter and sour. Yet, red ripe coffee beans contain natural sugars and have a sweet taste. Not the sweetness of a candy bar or a soft drink but the subtle sweetness of a ripe fruit. At the Hula Daddy plantation we let visitors pick red ripe beans and taste them. They always expect an acidic bitter taste, they are surprised when they find the fruit …

“Throw Out Your Drip Coffee Brewer!” by Karen Paterson

June 24, 2014 //  by Karen//  1 Comment

Manual pour over coffee is hot.  Coffee shops all over the United States are offering manual pour over cups of coffee starting at $5.00 a cup. A well done pour over coffee is significantly better than a cup of automatic drip brewed coffee. The difference is that the coffee is pulsed into the brew basket slowly to extend the extraction time. You can make a manual pour over yourself but you have to …
