Hawaii Kona coffee finds on the slopes of the island's active volcanoes, one of all the famous Kona volcano, from which the coffee takes its name, an ideal soil and climate for producing an aromatic, delicate coffee with a slight acidity.
Although the cultivation of coffee began relatively recently on the island, starting from 1828, Kona Hawaii has always been considered, together with Jamaica Blue Mountain (which is the same variety), the most refined coffee in the world. The plantations from which this coffee comes are located on the island of Kona, where Captain Cook landed in the eighteenth century.
A cup of Hawaii Kona coffee truly evokes the delicacy of the tropical breeze.
For this evaluation, the coffee was extracted into espresso at 94 ° with an extraction of 25 ml in 27 seconds. The degassing of the coffee took 48 hours. The cream is light and decidedly light hazelnut in color, while the aromas on the nose are slightly herbaceous and fruity. In one cup we found sensations of pineapple and white peach. To the taste, the coffee is decidedly not full-bodied, with a marked but not intrusive acidity and a decidedly light bitterness.

The Caffèlab project was born as a collective, a group of people with different skills, different past and present but the same passion: quality coffee.
The world of coffee is changing. In recent years we have been witnessing a strong cultural evolution of coffee. Some consumers are beginning to realize that this product can be a universe of varieties and aromas and that a conscious taste can give us extraordinary sensations.
We wanted to make our blends through experimentation, because looking for quality does not mean fossilizing on a taste, but going in search of it. We have also started to use different extraction methods, because coffee is not just about espresso. Finally, we understood that roasting can totally change the taste of a coffee and that you can also experiment by roasting your own coffee, at home, at different levels, with different profiles.
This is why we have created Caffèlab: to allow you to create your own personalized coffee blend, through our configurator, making available the best single origins and professional equipment.
