Generally, Hawaiian supermarkets typically offer dozens of varieties of Hawaiian Kona coffee beans labeled with the Kona name. However, most are not 100% Kona; some are 10% or 30% Kona, and most are flavored beans or powders (flavors include coconut, vanilla, Hawaiian beans, chocolate, Irish cream, etc. The powders are usually sold as coarse ground suitable for auto-drip brewing). Since I'm not a flavored coffee enthusiast, I won't introduce them here. I believe that if you want to drink flavored coffee, it's better to buy coffee syrups or use a small amount of liqueur for flavoring rather than purchasing flavored coffee beans.

These are typically the products available for purchase in department stores or supermarkets.

Where to Buy Kona Coffee?

If you want to select the highest quality, authentic Kona coffee, why not personally visit the Big Island of Hawaii and sign up for a coffee farm tour to purchase several bags of authentic Kona coffee! Additionally, you can also find premium 100% Kona coffee at Whole Foods Market, the organic food supermarket popular among the American middle class.

Many convenience stores and supermarkets across the Hawaiian Islands also carry Kona coffee. Remember to carefully read the labels on coffee packaging to distinguish between 10% Kona coffee and 100% Kona coffee. Major supermarkets and convenience stores include: ABC Stores, T Galleria by DFS, Don Quijote Supermarket, Food Pantry, Foodland, Island Gourmet Market, Kmart, KTA Superstore, Lamonts, Lawson, Longs Drugs, Safeway, Target, Walgreens, Walmart, Whalers General Store, etc.
