Choose 100% Kauai for a gift grown on the island. For someone with a home espresso setup, start with Espresso Blend.
Match the grind to their brewer. Buy whole bean when they have a grinder; choose ground coffee when you know their usual brewing method. The guide below compares the other options.
Kauai Roastery is a family-owned roaster in Hanapepe. We offer coffee grown on Kauai, Hawaiian estate coffees from other islands, and coffees from other origins roasted here on the island. The right gift depends on what they want in the cup.
For the person who wants coffee grown on Kauai
100% Kauai comes from Kokee Farms in West Kauai, beside Waimea Canyon. It combines Bourbon and Red Catuai arabica varieties, with citrus and jasmine notes and a sweet caramel finish.
This is the bag for someone who notices where coffee comes from. Choose an 8 oz, 1 lb, or 5 lb bag, with whole bean and grind options. Check the product page for current availability and price.
For the dark-roast regular
Pakala is the move when the recipient wants a fuller, darker cup. It is a Full City roast with chocolate and cherry notes, a heavy body, and light acidity. It also makes a strong espresso.
Give Pakala to the person who reaches for the same satisfying morning coffee every day. Choose 8 oz, 16 oz, or 5 lb, then select whole bean or their usual grind.
For the home espresso person
Espresso Blend is built for espresso and cappuccino at home. It combines washed and naturally processed coffees for rich crema, a full body, and a sweet lingering finish.
Do not guess at their grind. If you know their grinder, whole bean is the safest gift. If you know they buy espresso-ground coffee, choose Espresso (fine) on the product page.
For the cold-brew person
Toddy Blend is the direct choice. It is made for cold brew and comes in 8 oz, 16 oz, and 5 lb bags with whole bean and grind options.
For the person who wants decaf without giving up their coffee ritual
Water Processed Decaf uses Colombian beans and is roasted on Kauai. It is not labeled as Kauai-grown. It is available in 8 oz, 16 oz, and 5 lb bags, with whole bean and grind choices.
One simple rule when you are unsure
Buy whole bean if they have a grinder. Choose the grind that matches their usual brewer only when you know it. The product pages show the current options before you add a bag to the cart.
