Damn good coffee, better than anything off of the big island. Very hard to find in CONUS. I thought at one time Bad Ass Coffee was getting beans from there.

Re: Kauai Coffee....
Bad Ass was getting stuff from there before they realized they could make more selling it themselves. Mmmmmmmmm, peaberry roasted to perfection and slowly steeped in a nice press pot as you sit basking in the morning sun looking makai, yeah, I miss Hawaii a little

Re: Kauai Coffee....
Peaberry is d'kine.......
There just needs to be a 3rd lane pull off with bleacher seating coming out of the tunnel on H3 at abut 0700. A little locomoco and peaberry overlooking K-Bay....... get you good and ready to hike the sacred falls.
Yeah, I miss it too.

If I recall correctly its inspired by the flash hider on a Steyr AUG. A friend was machinging them for the TPD AXR and made one for me that had the flash holes all the way around instead of just on top so I could use it as a thread protector and not worry about indexing it. It rarely gets shot with the hider on there as I enjoy shooting it more with the suppressor on it. But I only have one rimfire suppressor right now so it usually rests on my 77/22.

I don't know how hard it is to find, never looked. My little brother was in Kauai at the end of 09 and bought it for me.

Re: Kauai Coffee....
You probably like Balut too, huh?
A good oyster sauce should have a very mild fish flavor but not a blatant, overpowering, fermented flavor. Of course a really good fish sauce on the other hand should knock you on your ass with the scent alone from days of sitting on a hot thai or vietnamese sun baked fermntation farm(I think I just grossed myself out with that one)

Re: Kauai Coffee....
I always have someone bring me back a pound of Lyons Kona blend when they come back from Hawaii - good stuff LOL
For now it's san francisco organic - grind for 11 seconds- PERFECT cup of brew.
I'll put starbucks to shame any day of the week

Re: Kauai Coffee....
One of our mechanics used to live in Honduras. He worked on large cranes.
Anyways, he brought back a metric shit ton of coffee and he brings it to work with him everyday. I tried it once, and it was amazing! Wish I could get more.

Re: Kauai Coffee....

Re: Kauai Coffee....
My girl spends about 4 days in Hawaii every other week for her job, after reading this thread I'm having her pick me up some of the Kauai next time she is there, so I should be experiencing the coffee in 2 weeks.

Tree bark tea is better han folgers..
I'd drink instant before I touched folgers -
Folgers used to have a 3lb can, average price between $7 and $9 - OK.
Suddenly the can is 3/4 the size for a few months, now it's HALF the size and the price is $9 per 1.5lb
F that - I can buy GOOD bean for that.
So Will sent me Honduran - it's SMOOTH...
Try the San Francisco Organic coffee (NOT French roast) at Costco - that's Smooth coffee as well, pretty decent - grind for 11 seconds, NO MORE!
(Seattle has it's perks)

Re: Kauai Coffee....
As I sit here and read this post I am sipping on a cup of Kona Mountain Coffee Peaberry Dark Roast. Before I came here all coffee tasted the same, ,99 cent MCDonalds or $4 Starbucks all tasted the same to me, but this Peaberry is in a class by itself. Its all I drink anymore.

Oh yeah,,,,, I'm going to use that one.......Thanks.
And the Folgers comment was just to get people going. The only thing worse than the "F-crap" is this brand of no-name that we have up here called "Red Circle" or something like that. Open the can, and it's a 'lighter brown' than any coffee I'd seen. Tastes like "Rusty-Muffler Condensate". At least how I'd imagine it would.

Copy that Switch. It's been showing up in the Commissary pretty regularly and I even found it in Food Lion once! I've still got a goodly quantity from the last "group buy"
of the other sauces. Nothing like Shoyu to marinade meat in, I even made some soft jerky with it this year. The gold is, well.... GOLDEN! There is even a Hawaiian Diner here in VA Beach. They need to work on their gravy for Loco Moco but other than that their plate lunch is just like home.

Scott, you need a vacation. Go to Hawaii. Sit in the sun and enjoy the peaberry right where it comes from. You deserve it. Yeah, you WANT to take a vacation...
