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 …

Are You Drinking GMO Coffee?

October 5, 2014 //  by Karen//  3 Comments

Genetically Modified (GM) food is a hot topic today. Proponents laud GM foods as a way to combat food shortage, drought and plant diseases. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news/remind-me-again-who-wants-gmo-labeling-082514.html. Anti-GM groups attack GM foods as frankenfood (as in Frankenstein*). They argue that you cannot mess with Mother Nature and that changing the DNA of plants can cause human …

“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 …

“Roasters Getting Rich Selling Buggy Coffee” by Karen Paterson

June 19, 2014 //  by Karen//  3 Comments

Some Kona Coffee mills are buying buggy beans from farmers at roadside platforms, dark roasting the coffee, grinding it and selling it in local big box stores. Customers who buy the coffee are looking for Kona coffee at the cheapest price. The customers are getting exactly what they pay for - cheap, bad tasting coffee. Meanwhile, the bug coffee mills are getting rich by destroying the reputation …

“The Mystery of Kona Coffee Rings!” by Karen Paterson

June 7, 2014 //  by Karen//  Leave a Comment

We noticed at Hula Daddy Kona Coffee that coffee cups leave a ring on the counter while other beverages do not. We never knew why that occurred. Our question has now been answered by an elite group of scientists from the University of Pennsylvania, who were taking a break from predicting TEOTW.* These boffins wanted to know why coffee always creates distinctive rings when it spills. After much …

Siphon Coffee Brewers Suck! by Karen Paterson

May 2, 2014 //  by Karen//  4 Comments

Siphon coffee brewers, aka vacuum pots, were very popular in mid-century America. Every coffee shop had a Silex or a Cory. The waiter would fill a pot with cold water, seal another pot on top of it filled with ground coffee and then put it on a hot plate. After the water got hot in the lower pot, it was forced by steam pressure into the upper pot where it mixed with the ground coffee. After the …

AeroPress – an Ugly Way to Brew Coffee by Karen Paterson

March 24, 2014 //  by Karen//  5 Comments

Imagine a romantic dinner followed by a spectacular cup of coffee brewed right at your table. The waiter brings a siphon brewer - how interesting; or a french press - how elegant; or a pour over filter - how special; or an AeroPress - how ???.  There is nothing elegant about an AeroPress. The AeroPress was created by a toy company which may explain its lack of elegance. I have always resisted …
