The coffee winner so far

I mentioned awhile ago that I was mostly unsuccessfully trying to like coffee, and that Hawaiian Kona coffee had been good, but that it wasn't easy to find around here.

Enter this Christmas present from Tom:

Yes, it's instant, but it's Kona coffee! And it's true -- the Kona is really good! It's amazing how different it tastes than the other coffees I've had. So much nicer. I mean, some of the brews that the ubiquitous coffee chain places serve ... seriously, my main reaction to them was, "You can't be serious."

But the Kona coffee is the winner for now.

    The pictures on their web site make it look like a light roast, which tends to confirm my earlier opinion that you would probably prefer light roasts.

    The other thing about instants is that you can't over-brew them (since they've done the brewing). I find over-brewed coffee undrinkable.

    SO - I stand by my earlier recommendations:

    * Get light roast Kona or Sumatra beans.
    * Grind them for a French press.
    * Use a French press and don't overbrew.
