Kona coffee is one of my favorite coffees. I could go on and on, but you really have to taste it to understand why people love it so much. This coffee comes from the Big Island of Hawaii.

The coffee plant was brought to the island in the nineteenth century and was Brazilian in origin. Today, there are many small farms on Hawaii that grow this wonderful type of coffee. My favorite is the peaberry version, the one with the small coffee beans.

If you are going to go through the expense of having Kona coffee delivered to you, you might as well do it right. First off, buy the beans, don’t buy the coffee already ground. Grind only as much coffee as you will consume in a day. I have measured how much it takes to fill my coffee press and I only grind one press full at a time.

Oh, by the way, I don’t use a coffee maker. I use a coffee press. Basically, a coffee press is a glass jar with a top piece that is attached to a plunger with a screen attached to it.

You put the coffee in the bottom, pour hot water into the jar, let it brew for at least 4 minutes and then push down on the plunger which strains the coffee and keeps the coffee grounds on the bottom. This method of making coffee blows away my $200 Capresso coffee maker. Really, this $30 device makes the best coffee I’ve ever tasted.

Enough with the coffee brewing lesson already. If you buy Kona coffee, make sure it is 100% Kona coffee. Do not buy a blend. Usually blends will have as much as 90% cheap coffee mixed in and you should not pay a premium for that.

I would recommend you try the smallest size available, usually an 8oz. bag of coffee to start. If you like it, by all means, save money by ordering several pounds of coffee beans at a time.

Personally, I like to buy my coffee beans fresh every month despite the higher cost. For me, freshness is the top consideration.

I buy my coffee direct from the roaster. I don’t want a middleman interfering with the timely delivery of my Java. I tell you why I feel this way. Coffee beans peak in flavor right after roasting.

Once roasted, the clock starts ticking and you better get your coffee beans fast if you want to really see what good coffee tastes like. Most of us only know supermarket quality coffee.

Usually this coffee is already ground months ago and the flavor has already dissipated. Savor the first whiff of coffee aroma when you open the can as the aroma and flavor will be gone faster than you can say wow that’s bad.

Cut out the middleman, buy coffee direct. Do your research, try out a million types of coffee to see what you like. Dark coffee, light coffee, coffee blends, all types of coffees are available online. There are so many coffee distributors, it is hard to choose.

First, search by your favorite coffee. Do you like Kona coffee? Do a search on Kona coffee. Find the closest distributor to you so you won’t have to wait to savor that coffee goodness. Keep in mind that there will always be coffee that you must fly in to get the best flavor possible. My favorite comes from Hawaii, so until I move there, I have to fly that Java in overnight.

Did I mention price? Maybe I forgot, but you can buy coffee direct and save big bucks. Imagine paying less than supermarket prices for gourmet coffee. Yes, that’s right, you can save big if you buy big.

Usually, you need to buy 10 to 25 pounds of coffee to see significant discounts. If you are like me, this is no problem. I drink at least 4 cups of coffee each and every day.

I just love it. No, I don’t understand tea people. Coffee is for me, and coffee loves me. Of course, I don’t have proof of this as coffee doesn’t talk to me (if you find someone who’s coffee talks to them, here’s a hint: don’t drink anything while you are in their house).

Coffee delivery services exist to make the coffee drinker happy. That is how I view the industry. If you are a casual coffee drinker and Folger’s instant coffee makes your day, this service is not for you.

I am talking about the coffee aficionado who understands that there are so many ways to happily satisfy their coffee craving. I want to talk about what kind of coffee drinker you are first and then we’ll talk about what’s out there.

There are all kinds of coffee drinkers out there from the average coffee lover to the person who pays over a hundred dollars for exotic coffee and flies it to their door for instant gratification. There is only one coffee that I will fly to my door and that is Kona Peaberry coffee.

Once you taste it, you’ll never go back. Unfortunately, my friends have tasted it and as a result, I must abstain from this wonderful coffee or go broke because of the moochers.

Anyway, once you have assessed your coffee mania level, you can decide which coffee delivery services are right for you. Many people love surprises. I don’t. If you love to be surprised, you can choose to have a random selection of coffee shipped to you on a schedule, usually monthly.

Whatever type of coffee you have delivered to you, remember that a true coffee drinker always has coffee beans shipped to them. Please invest in a proper coffee grinder.

Blade coffee grinders simply shred the coffee and are all but useless when trying to get uniform flavor from your bean. Use a burr grinder, they are only slightly more expensive and entirely worth the added cost. Make sure your coffee delivery service is located close to you. Order today, grind tomorrow, savor the flavor.

Everybody say ahhh… It is best to grind only the coffee that you’ll need right away. The thinking here is that the wonderful aroma you smell escaping from the grinder will also take the flavor with it if it sits outside too long after grinding.

Ever wonder why supermarket coffee tastes so bad? It tastes that way because they use low quality coffee beans and they were ground months ago.

Coffee services abound in the USA because we are a nation of coffee drinkers. There are all kinds of services tailored to any type of coffee drinker. There are companies that will ship you any type of coffee you could ever want overnight.

There are online coffee clubs that ship specialty gourmet coffees to your home or office each and every month. You can select from your favorite coffee blends, or you can select the online coffee of the month which enables you to try coffees that you would otherwise not try yourself.

What kind of coffee drinker are you? Do you drink more than one coffee each day? Do you get your coffee on the run to work? Do you get your coffee at the office? These questions will all point to the coffee services you might be interested in.

As an example, I have a Braun Tassimo coffee maker. It is one of those instant coffee makers which can make a latte in no time flat. My wife loves them but as a true coffee drinker, I will not part with my coffee press. Anyway, we get a box of Tassimo coffee cartridges delivered to the house each and every month. They are, of course, cappuccino coffees.

One of my favorites is the office coffee services package that some companies offer. I highly urge you to get your boss into one of their office packages.

Basically, they give you a free coffee machine, much like the Braun or Keurig instant coffee machines and each and every month, you get your choice of regular, hazelnut, vanilla, and other gourmet coffee flavors.

It is up to you when delivery takes place and you can select the volume of coffee shipped. Bigger offices, will have need of much more coffee, but any office that has me in it will have to have large volume and great selection. If you are your own boss, you will be stuck with the bill, but on the bright side, you won’t have to share!

Oh, and as always, a good company will have free shipping to their customers who buy monthly supplies.

Coffee bean direct roasters ship coffee to you directly at wholesale pricing. There are many sources online for great coffee. Buying coffee is a personal choice for many of us. We like to see, smell, taste the coffee before we buy anything.

Those of us who know don’t buy coffee from the supermarket that has been sitting on a shelf for several months while the coffee flavor and aroma are dissipating. The secret to great coffee is timing. Once a coffee roaster roasts the coffee, the clock is ticking. I like to buy as much coffee as I will consume in a week so that it is always fresh.

When selecting a place online to get your coffee bean direct, make sure that they are located close to you. My favorite online coffee bean source is located only one day away via UPS.

That means if I place and order for my favorite coffee on Monday, I will have the coffee on Tuesday. Nothing beats quick service, and if you love your coffee as much as I do, you’ll do anything to get those coffee beans in your coffee mug as soon as possible.

It is a bad idea to select a coffee roaster that is located far from you unless you like paying tons of overnight shipping charges. There are exceptions to this rule, however. I get peaberry coffee from Hawaii every month and it is worth every penny to have it FedEx’ed to me.

Anyway, buying coffee online has many advantages. The most obvious of these advantages is having your coffee freshly roasted for you and getting coffee at a discount. Expect to pay about half of what you do at the supermarket unless you are buying coffee that tastes more like tree bark than gourmet coffee beans.

Another advantage to buying coffee directly from a coffee roaster is selection. You can get regular coffee, gourmet coffee, Costa Rican coffee, Brazillian coffee, dark Sumatran coffee, there’s lots to choose from. So, as you can plainly see, you can’t go wrong when you get your coffee bean direct from a reputable coffee roaster.
