Aloha Island Coffee PLATINUM Organic 100% Pure Kona Coffee, 8 Oz Whole Bean, 8-ounces

I like a little bit milder coffee, but this does have a good flavor

I appreciate good coffee but am far from being a connoisseur and it is obvious to me that this is a blend of different beans. Some are dark, dry, and brittle while others are light and slightly oily. The coffee itself does have a low acidity but as a consumer I strongly disdain being deceived. I purchase a variety of single origin organic coffee beans and although they are all slightly different from each other they are all distinctly consistent within themselves. This coffee is clearly mislabeled. Hope this helps.

Thank you

It's not bad per say. The bag I got brews to a heavier floral taste. I like floral notes but not a heavy flower taste I prefer that for my teas. I'll finish what I purchased but probably won't buy again. I do like a different coffee of the same brand this one just wasn't the best to me. I don't know if I'd call it premium. Maybe kona coffee isn't for me? I do think many get confused about while coffee from Kona is a well-known specialty coffee, it's not actually a variety of coffee but a growing region. So some of blends saying it's a kona and Hawaiian grown blend isn't false advertising. I'm thinking of trying a kona Hawaiian blend maybe I'll like that more than just straight kona.

I'm a big fan of Kona coffee, and while I like Aloha Island, it's not my favorite. I had high expectations because I've sampled this coffee in Hawaii, and locally, it seemed pretty good. I even took a quick tour of their plantation on a visit a few years ago and was impressed with the overall operation.Problem is, the batch I got seemed a bit roughly handled, and was possibly on the stale side. Many beans were cracked and chipped, and they seemed a bit dry and lifeless. I'd rate them as slightly over-roasted for my taste. Perhaps they came from the bottom of some bin, where they had sat for too long.I brewed mine a few different ways, from a French press to my espresso machine. Although the taste in the cup was okay, it didn't seem to have that signature Kona taste I've come to expect from the top beans. Missing was that slightly sweet and refined taste.I suppose I'll give these folks another try on the chance that I just got a bad batch of beans, but otherwise, there are better solutions for the price.

Smelled like insecticide

Smooth rich taste, not bitter. Consistently very good

This is a mixture of light, dark, and other varied variety of coffee beans and is not light roast. The only distinguishing flavor is the “stale” after taste. What a disappointment.
