Hawaii Kona Coffee

Hawaii is the only state in the United States that grows coffee. Kona coffee is primarily grown on Oahu, Hawaii Island, Maui, Kauai, and Molokai. Coffee produced from different islands has its own characteristics; for example, Kauai coffee is soft and smooth, Molokai coffee has high body with low acidity, and Maui coffee has medium acidity but the strongest flavor. Kona coffee has always been cultivated using a family farming model. Kona coffee beans have the most perfect appearance - their beans are exceptionally full and have a bright, glossy sheen, making them the most beautiful coffee beans in the world. The coffee tastes smooth and rich with an enticing nutty aroma, balanced acidity, and a long-lasting aftertaste.

Hawaii Kona coffee green beans are typically packaged in 100-gram bags of single-origin coffee beans. Kona coffee beans are also often blended with coffee beans from other parts of the world to create blended coffee. Unfortunately, the Kona content in these blends can be very low. The best Kona coffee is divided into three grades: Extra Fancy, Fancy, and Number 1. Most coffees on the market today that call themselves "Kona" contain less than 5% real Hawaii Kona coffee.

Kona coffee is grown on the slopes of Mauna Loa volcano on the southwestern coast of Hawaii. In terms of flavor, Kona coffee beans are closer to Central American coffee rather than Indonesian coffee. It has high average quality, is carefully processed, with medium body, good acidity, very rich flavor, strong acidity and sweetness, and a smooth, mellow mouthfeel.

Pour-Over Coffee

Pour-over is arguably the most basic and simple brewing method for specialty coffee. No complex machines are needed - just hot water, a filter, and coffee. In just a few minutes, you can brew a fresh cup of coffee. Pour-over is also the most exciting part of specialty coffee. By adjusting different brewing parameters, including grind size, water temperature, flow rate, and time, you can significantly change the final taste of the coffee.

There are many different schools of pour-over coffee, especially for V60 pouring methods. However, for beginners in specialty coffee, these schools can often be intimidating. In reality, pour-over can be very simple. Most importantly, whether coffee is brewed well or not should be judged by our taste buds, not by whether the pouring posture is graceful enough. Finally, one thing is certain: good coffee beans paired with freshly ground pour-over coffee provide a completely different taste experience compared to commercial coffee.

Knowledge tip: Pour-over coffee is commonly used for brewing single-origin coffee. For example, Hawaii Kona coffee is suitable for pour-over brewing.
