General comments: Aloha Island Kona-Pod Espresso Roast: Aloha Island Coffee Company uses Kona beans from a private estate plantation, rather than from mixed lots, giving their coffees a rare dependable consistency. Their beans are picked and processed by hand, and roasted in small batches. Those who drink a lot of Kona, will immediately notice that this is no ordinary Kona. Although it is a 100% Kona Pod, it has been ground fine and well-roasted to produce an espresso-like coffee. I don't think it has the full bold complexity of a true espresso, but it has a lot more character than their Dark Roast Kona. I like my coffee strong and fresh, so I really like this aromatic, minimally-acidic coffee, but when brewed in my Senseo, it is a little short of espresso. A wonderful wake-up brew for the first cup in the morning. For the rest of the day, try the Aloha Island Dark Roast, which I think is the best all-around Kona Pod.
