Aloha Island Coffee Kona-Pods Medium Roast

Aloha Island Kona-Pod Medium 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. I think of Kona coffees as having a rather even, singular taste, much the way 100% Columbian does, but with more colorful hints of nuttiness. This pod smells excellently aromatic as soon as it is removed from the foil pouch. As it is brewing, the coffee has a medium caramel color, and a beautiful crema (using the Senseo). There is a very slight acidity, but not bitterness, making this a delightful mid-day roast. I recommend the entire Aloha Island line of 100% Kona Pods.
