I've been a subscription orderer of Kona through Peet's for years. Kona is really the reason I became a daily coffee drinker 30 years ago, and quite a while back, I concluded that Peet's was the best bean roasted best I could readily find.
Today, I cancelled my subscription. The last several pounds have been mediocre. Either they have chosen to buy inferior beans or they've forgotten how to roast them properly...or both. In any case, $50/lb. implies better than they now deliver, I'm very sad to say. -

I am a big fan of African coffees, and a lover of balanced central american beans. But I found the ideal expression for a good cup of coffee: Kona. Outstanding balance, mellowness, nutty taste and pleasant acidity. I am tough on Konas. I was satisfied with this one for my birthday. Thanks Peets. It`s on my next order.

I just ordered this coffee Tuesday, received it today (Thursday). What a wonderful cup! Smooth and the clean smell of the roast shines brilliantly through. Low acid and yet is a beautiful way to wake up!

Hands down. This is the BEST coffee I have ever had--with the exception only of the memory of a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain. This coffee is so smooth, light, and flavorful, it stopped me in my tracks---then I made everyone I know--including my 13 year old son--taste it--all to rave reviews. I gave this coffee to a dear friend who proclaimed it also the best he had ever tasted--then when he ran out, went to Peets to pick up another pound bag, had a heart attack--but admitted it was worth every penny. Peets'' Kona will spoil you--and make all other beans a mere shadow mockery of the memory of perfection itself.

Sweet and smooth like an inning-ending double play. It will cost you the big bucks but if you want the best and can afford it Peet's Kona is a treat.

We just got back from a week in the Kona coffee region of the big island where we purchased and sampled various Kona blends and roasts. Peets Kona prices are reasonable and comparable with the premium blends one will find in Kialua-Kona. (Note that in Hawaii, what appears to be a half pound bag of Kona is actually 7 ounces, not 8!)

I really enjoy our Kona because it is one of our lightest coffees, which allows the flavors and characteristics of the coffee to stand out. Kona to me is well balance in its body and acidity, with smooth tobacco overtones and it makes a great cup after a heavy meal or the perfect cup to wake up slow on a Sunday morning.

One of my favorites! Smooth, with a velvety mouth feel! Full bodied essence of bitter sweet cocoa. Mellow acidity!

Kona-an exotic rich coffee flavor with a smooth finish that takes your soul to the islands with the first taste.
