    Great instant coffee, Hawaiian flavor!!!

    I purchased this product while stationed overseas. It was enjoyed by all of my colleagues and myself as well.It's easy to bring along in your pack when on the road, and all you need is hot water.

    Absolutely the best coffee in the world is from KONA,Hawaii and this is GREAT!Actually we visited Kona years ago...something about the climate...

    Beware the lid

    The coffee is fine but screw-on lid on the large plastic jar is hard to twist back on just right to keep the seal tight. For the price, I really want this coffee to stay fresh. Did not complain in time to return the jar so I switched containers. But be warned.

    I LOVE KONA COFFEE

    Kona coffee is the best on the market. And to find instant Kona coffee was great, it's expensive, but worth it.
