  • YOU MIGHT ADD ANOTHER HALF CUP, FOR 3.5 OUT OF 5...

    Jason_Moore | Thu, 03/29/2012 - 18:41

    As a VIP subscriber for an award winning Hawaiian coffee, I am accustomed to visibly appealing beans with a uniform roast. When drinking a cup, one does not consume the beans, however; but grinds and brews them, as I have enjoyably been doing with relatively inexpensive, yet still costly Kona, for months. So how does this product with unknown origins compare? To reiterate, Horn and Hardart's East Coast Medium Roast is up against severe competition. It has a stronger scent in comparison to the domestic product (also a medium, known as a full city roast). The beans do not appear nearly as remarkable: some are chopped, their color varies, some items in the bag even appear to be something different. For a person who makes retail purchases, this product does not meet expectations, especially in comparison to a world leading product. However, for a drinker, it brews up into a very tasty cup of coffee. It is not especially aromatic, deep, or full bodied. A regular amount of half and half and sweetener are more discernable. Almost certainly, when served in a restaurant, diner, "Automat," or home setting, it would get many highly positive remarks. I would like to rate this product at 3.5 out of 5, or 7 out of 10. My 3 cup evaluation is cautious, conservative perhaps, in order to to be appropriate for something offered for sale. If awarded 4 our of 5, it would essentially be considered amongst products that are obviously of higher quality. Let there be no mistake about the fact that it tastes appreciably better than a 2 star cup of coffee (which theoretically is better than a 1 star product). In order to get what you pay for, the price for this product...

  • FIVE FULL CUPS FOR FIRST ORDER FROM ROASTE

    Jason_Moore | Thu, 11/17/2011 - 23:32

    Kona coffe has never been very common for me. I have only been aware of it for approximately a decade, after observing it to be the most expensive variety for sale at some cafes on the USA's west coast. For unknown reasons, it seems to have no local presence in the northeast. There are lots of terrific coffees from all over the world; however, any others that are produced domestically outside of Hawaii are unknown. Because of the scarcity, it is difficult to compare Kona with other offerings; and the difficult baseline for rating is compounded due to a full city roast that also is not so prevalent. Anyhow, my first order of two pounds arrived today and was remarkable. The beans were dark in color and in fine condition. It brewed into a great cup of coffee. There was not an overwhelming amount of body, acidity, or hints of spice. If anything, its qualities were toward the dark and earthy side; but it would be best described as well balanced.
