My first order of alohaislandcoffee.com was the Light Roast 100% Kona pods. I had just bought the Bunn My Cafe machine. The coffee tasted bitter to me, not smooth like I'd hoped. I was ready to return the Bunn My Cafe and give up on pod coffee. I called Anita at Alohaisland and she talked with me and gave me great info on over-extraction, pod brewers, Kona, different roasts. She asked me to hold on the Bunn one more week and she would send me a sample pack with more pods so I could decide. She assured me that the Bunn My Cafe was not the reason I didnt like the Light Roast Kona. Anita was correct! After trying 4 more flavors(Choco Macadamia Nut, Dark Roast, Espresso, and Hazelnut)we loved them all! Finally we had the rich smooth coffee that we had hoped for. If you are not sure which flavor pods to order first, just call Alohaisland, talk with them and they will help you decide. I have loved Dunkin Donuts coffee for years, thinking it was a light roast. I learned that its a dark roast and thats why I didnt like the Light Roast Kona. I highly recommend the Chocolate Macadamia Nut pods!!!Man, if you have never drank Kona coffee, and you have a senseo or a similar coffee pod machine, you must try these! Sure, they are as expensive as it gets as far as coffee is concerned, but, if you really want a unique experience, and you really love coffee, you will be surprised at the subtleties of true Kona coffee. You don't have to be a conisseur of coffee to appreciate the flavor, just a lover of the stuff. The light roast much subtler than the dark roast, and much more enjoyable to the less than hardcore coffee nut, which makes these particular pods a great try for folks new to the Kona coffee market. I have no idea why coffees from different regions taste so much different, and I really don't even care! All I know is that coffee from Hawaii, especially Kona coffee, it is the best I have tasted so far, and I even think it is worth the huge amounts of cash it costs to drink it...
If the cost is too much, or you don't love coffee, then leave this stuff alone. Otherwise, you are in for a treat!I have been a longtime fan of Aloha coffee even before I tried this new line, and it is simply amazing. The quality of Aloha Coffee is not just the best of any coffee I've ever tried, but it is truly on "another level". This new line has a fantastic flavor and richness. I am also very impressed by the consistency of Aloha's products -each cup I make is 5 stars!
