budget.... what do you spend your money on?

That is pretty good! Thank you! I agree with you about Kona coffee, which, I think, has more variation to it. It can be quite good, or harsh. A friend explained ---or perhaps I should say opined--- that Kona coffee is often roasted too dark. It is delicate and so should always be on the light side of a medium roast or the darker side of a light roast. But Seattle trained us to prefer that dark, dark coffee, and so Kona coffee occasionally has the hell roasted out of it.

Puna and Ka'u coffee are both great. I hope they realize they have a local market if they would just go for volume, with a lower price. There is no reason for Hawaii to import coffee.
