Kona Coffee Beans 100% Pure Brewing"Coffee is subjective and everyone has their own idea of what good coffee is," says Bruce Cadwell, co-owner of Java On The Rock, who formerly operated a mainland business that designed, equipped and trained espresso bars and coffee houses. “Many factors affect the taste of a cup of joe, including the quality of the beans, roast, grind, type of brewing, and the care you taking in preparing your cup of coffee." "The Big Island grows some of the best beans on the planet," according to Cadwell. “A lot of care is put into Kona coffee. It’s handled by people who have expertise and a passion for their product and the result is that people love its taste.” He thinks that Kona coffee tastes best when “slow-brewed.” One method is with a french press and freshly ground coffee. But unless you have an expensive burr type grinder you will probably have grounds left in your cup. |

The temperature of the brewing water dramatically affects the solubility of certain flavor compounds in coffee. Water boils at 212 degrees. Most people prefer the taste that is brewed between 190 – 198 degrees.“At home, I use a small filter holder to brew one cup at a time—it gives me the most control,” Cadwell explains. A cheap blade-type grinder will still produce an excellent cup brewing with this method. Cadwell first grinds one heaping tablespoon of beans and pours this into the holder lined with a paper filter. "I bring the tea kettle to a boil. This gives me a reference point because I know that boiling is 212 degrees. I shut off the heat when the kettle boils." Then he says to pour only one tablespoon of water over the grounds in the filter. “This lets the grounds blossom," he says. ”After about a minute pour the hot water one-third of the way up the filter holder. Don’t hurry—let the water seep through the grounds, then you fill again, adding just enough water each time to cover the wet grounds. Keep doing this until you’ve brewed enough coffee to fill a 12 oz.-mug. It takes seven-to-eight minutes to complete the process of brewing a rich and full-bodied cup of joe."
