The wait is over! The new harvest of 100% Kona has arrived, direct from the island, and we couldn't wait to share it with you. One of our rarest and best-selling coffees, this Extra Fancy grade of Kona coffee shines as a bold and balanced medium roast with a smooth, pleasant body and hints of toasted coconut and passion fruit. This is one of specialty coffee's smallest and most exclusive growing regions, so if you or someone you love is a fan of Hawaiian coffee, this is your opportunity to keep the vacation spirit alive with a freshly-roasted batch of the newest crop.

Our 100% Kona comes from Keala’s Hawaiian Coffee, the only born-and-bred Hawaiian roaster in Seattle. Sean, the owner, sources his coffee through his direct relationships with small, family-run Kona farms⁠—these handpicked, Extra Fancy grade cherries represent the top 20% of coffee grown in Kona. As all Hawaiian coffee lovers know, top-quality Kona coffee is like nothing else in the world. Its smooth, rich, and nutty flavors are the result of careful cultivation, lush volcanic soil, the perfect balance of morning sun and afternoon clouds, and that special Aloha spirit. Combine these highest-quality Kona beans with small-batch, artisan Seattle roasting, and you’ve got an island vacation in a cup: a true sip of paradise.

Because of a combination of environmental challenges and labor shortages, paired with the small size of the growing region, this year’s high quality Kona is even rarer than usual. We're lucky that Keala’s Hawaiian Coffee set aside a small amount of this year's first Kona harvest for us, and for you, while it lasts. Reserve a bag of the newest crop of 100% Extra Fancy grade Kona, and brew up a taste of Hawaii's finest coffee. Like the last day of a tropical vacation, you’ll want to savor this romantic cup, down to the very last drop.

Reviews & Ratings

Jack Paprocki	★★★★★	★★★★★ My absolute favorite coffee and is worth the price you pay for it. I always make sure I have some to grind for special occasions or when the mood hits me for a smooth tasting coffee with no aftertaste or bite to it.
Mary	★★★★★	★★★★★ Gave this Kona to my husband for his birthday as a special treat.
Mary	★★★★★	★★★★★ Lovely, light and full of flavor. This coffee is a real treat ! Bright and lively.
jo smith	★★★★★	★★★★★ I had only a half of the bag from my first order of the season, October and always look forward to it. That bright light aromatic flavor is always great especially in the Fall and now that I have two more orders here, will enjoy into the new year. I just keep it sealed until I'm ready to grind although it has been roasted a while. I don't care, it is still good but I will brew a little stronger and see if this crop is even better in the description.
Jason Haggard	★★★★★	★★★★★ Delicious. Super necessary. Taking me back to Hawai'i after my first trip 4 years ago. A treat well worth the cost.
Joe Wright	★★★★★	★★★★★ A wonderful Kona, one of the best I've had. Bright and acidic, yet smooth. I love this coffee and try to treat myself every once in a while.
Alexander Sideris	★★★★★	★★★★★ Delicious coffee. Such a treat. I even mix it with other coffee beans sometimes to make my own custom blend.
Benjamin Hewlett	★★★★★	★★★★★ Smooth finish, no need for creamer or sugar. Will be ordering another bag!
JM	★★★★★	★★★★★ Great balanced coffee. Kona will always be my favorite! treat
ISABELLE M OUTZEN	★★★★★	★★★★★ Perfectly smooth Hawaiian coffee; brewed in my french press, the coconut and fruit notes were pleasant but not overpowering.
Caffeinated AF	★★★★★	★★★★★ A pleasant light chocolate aroma, this coffee rewards you with a smooth yet robust flavor. (pour over)
Dan Rissi	★★★★★	★★★★★ I was happy to be able to taste the toasted coconut they mention on the label. Love it!
Emily Lincoln	★★★★★	★★★★★ Good, but not the absolute best kona I've tried. I much prefer the hapuna from keala's, very good.
Katie A. Wilson	★★★★★	★★★★★ I can not say enough good things about this coffee. My first time trying 100% Kona and it makes me want to move to the islands! Such rich flavor!
John Perkins	★★★★★	★★★★★ Ok for a light coffee but not what I expected. But have loved kona so gave it a try.
Mary	★★★★★	★★★★★ Light and very citrusy and bright. We made it in a french press and drank it black. Not a favorite.
Vanessa Burrell	★★★★★	★★★★★ Too acidic and citrusy for my taste. I brewed it in an aeropress and drank it black.
Cherie	★★★★★	★★★★★ This coffee was not bad, but I was disappointed because I expected to love it like I have loved other 100% Kona coffees I have had, and did not get the great coffee smell from the beans that I expected either.
Ricky Landino	★★★★★	★★★★★ Great cup of coffee if you like a fruitier, more acidic cup. Personally, not my cup of tea (or coffee) as I am more of a dark roast lover, but I still enjoyed drinking this more than other beans on the brighter side.
David Speer	★★★★★	★★★★★ Wow, what a delicious cup of coffee. I absolutely enjoyed it and may be the best coffee I've ever had. It was surprisingly bold, coconut came all the way through and it finished with the refreshing and sweet taste of tropical lakoli. Brewed on a french press with filtered water and two mesh screens
Joseph L Ellsworth	★★★★★	★★★★★ My aunt had this coffee a little while ago and this was a really good cup, but a little too acidic (not in a bad way at all) for my tastes. It was very good and I would definitely drink it again, but I typically go for a darker cup of coffee. I am definitely glad I got to try this though!
Maya A	★★★★★	★★★★★ LOVE THIS COFFEE. Such an amazing smell - brewed it in an aeropress. delicious as an americano or latte!
Alyssa	★★★★★	★★★★★ Hands down the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had. Brewed in a french press. Just a hint of sweet coconut with a smooth, slightly nutty flavor... perfect. I have to resist brewing another cup later in the day!
Kristan Lanza	★★★★★	★★★★★ Amazing Kona coffee! Nice flavor of coconut throughout.
Erika Huebner	★★★★★	★★★★★ This coffee is pretty good. A little darker than I’d prefer but it is still quite tasty with some fruity notes. I prefer using a french press with this particular coffee.
TGButz	★★★★★	★★★★★ I've had 100% Kona from a number of sources. When my regular supplier went out of business, I was in search of another supplier, and ran across Bean Box. I bought a half pound and tried it when I got it, I tried it immediately.. I was delighted to discover that it lived up to my expectations!
Bret Johnson	★★★★★	★★★★★ This was my first experience with 100% Kona. Initial cup was a wonderful toasted coconut and lychee. After the first couple cups it drank like a dark roast where notes were difficult to discern. I'd like to try on a lighter roast. Was one of the more difficult beans to dial in for me.
Kevin Kasunich	★★★★★	★★★★★ A wonderful roast from a great roaster. Very smooth and subtle. A great coffee for the evening hours.
jo smith	★★★★★	★★★★★ I had a Kona from an estate that might be different from Keala's many years ago through HSN and seemed a deeper roast and am not experienced with this coffee. I use a french press and heaped my scoops and still was not that strong but tomorrow morning will use more to see if it makes a difference.
Peter Cornell	★★★★★	★★★★★ Amazing Coffee! Typically I go for the Ethiopian coffees, but this coffee is a more robust and earthy flavor. The flavor is more nutty an full bodied rather than fruity and lemony.
Kevin ORourke	★★★★★	★★★★★ Incredibly smooth and delicious, very much a winner and worth the price. Must try
Frederick Gingell	★★★★★	★★★★★ Very fruity and delicious! Definitely worth the money! Smooth flavor!
Dustin Haddenham	★★★★★	★★★★★ Amazing fruity flavor. Has less body then the Kona's I have tried before. Would love to have again!
Adam Stephan	★★★★★	★★★★★ I usually don't buy super expensive coffee like this, but man was this worth the price. I tasted tropical fruit with toasted coconut, medium body and clean finish.
ROBERT J GUTIERREZ	★★★★★	★★★★★ Defineintly don't think Hawaii with this cup but I do think of the ocean and relaxation. Great french press if you have the time
Suzanne Henry	★★★★★	★★★★★ This is the first Hawaiian coffee that I've tried & must say it's my favorite coffee so far. Definitely what I've been looking for in my coffee, smooth, sweet & balanced.
Aaron Ibrahimi	★★★★★	★★★★★ Excellent coffee, a unique flavor, low acidity deep and rich but not too strong or dark. If u never tried it you certainly should but it is over priced and you can definitely find other single origin coffees that will suit your tastes better.
Ilene Samowitz	★★★★★	★★★★★ I was disappointed but maybe my fault. I loved Kona coffee and drank it while on the Big Island ibefore I became a coffee snob. I now much prefer Ethiopians, Brazilian and Central Americans. Nice cup but for me not worth the extra cost of the beans.
Jillian Regal	★★★★★	★★★★★ I love Kona coffee, but this isn't my favorite. It didn't have much body and was a little too floral for my taste. I prepared it in a french press.
Jason Rainey	★★★★★	★★★★★ I would say Kona is one of the most balanced coffees. The flavor is never overwhelming, almost no acidic after taste and the aroma is distinct. Wonderful on it's own or with a stroopwafel or baked good.
Tim Piatenko	★★★★★	★★★★★ A really nice coffee, though I prefer African and Central American beans more. This feels darker and fuller, for a richer cup.
Joe	★★★★★	★★★★★ Absolutely Delicious. Perfect to sit back and enjoy
aab	★★★★★	★★★★★ A rich aroma medium roast. The beans were fresh and bright. Held up well in a moka, and made a delicious pour over. Bought it at a discount.
Andrew	★★★★★	★★★★★ Best roast I've had yet. Great flavor profile, lighter yet has a strong flavor where the fruit notes aren't overpowered. Good anytime of day. Only regret is that I didn't buy more bags before it sold out.
Leigh Hennig	★★★★★	★★★★★ I fell in love with Kona coffee a long time ago, but truly great cups of Kona in the US are few and far between. Either you get a blend with hardly any Kona in it, or the beans are long past their prime. Not this one, it's exceptional. Lush, smooth and rich. Full of flavor and perfectly balanced.
Jeremy Stiltz	★★★★★	★★★★★ The little bit of aloha thrown in the shipping box was a nice touch Beanbox. Nose in the bag you know it's a Kona. Potent sweet aromas filled my house. A bright balanced cup of Kona. Smooth roasted malt & chocolate. Could use a little more body. I've had Kona on site so I'm a little picky.
Andrew Davis	★★★★★	★★★★★ Wow, a true taste of the islands in my morning cup. This roast has a sweet delicate flavor with hints of coconut an passion fruit. This is one of my new favorites sipping a cup of this luscious roast on a cold Seattle morning made me feel I was awakening on a beach in Maui.
Matthew B., Chief Coffee Wrangler	★★★★★	★★★★★ I'm sitting here in gray Seattle, chewing on a delightful bean from Kona, and it's like a ray of sunshine. Typically, Hawaiian coffees taste extra special because they're consumed on location. But this super smooth roast brings the delight of its sun-filled origin along with it!
