Our 100 percent pure Kona instant coffee (freeze dried) is finally available again!! We have been waiting patiently since last Christmas when we sold out of the instant Kona coffee and the manufacturer had stopped selling it. There was none to be found online or off. We had a few customers waiting for us to locate another supplier because they said the 100 percent pure instant Kona coffee was the best instant coffee they had ever tasted! We shipped their orders out a couple of weeks ago and you can see what they said about the new Kona instant coffee in our "Testimonial Tuesday" feature.
When people hear the word "instant coffee" most immediately think "Yuck." However you don't have to sacrifice flavor for convenience if you start with using only premium Kona coffee beans. Our Pure Kona instant coffee is highly aromatic with a smooth flavor. Do not buy a Kona coffee blend with 10 percent Kona beans and 90 percent mystery beans, it is not the same, they are just using the reputation of Kona coffee to sell an inferior blended product.
The beverage known as instant coffee is made from brewed coffee beans that are dehydrated into granules or powder. If kept dry is has a superior shelf life to natural coffee, ground coffee is especially susceptible to flavor loss due to the coffee essential oils evaporating over time.
The best site for everything you ever wanted to know about Instant Coffee can be found at Wikipedia.
I actually don't mind drinking instant coffee, but I've never tried instant kona coffee yet.
Regarding shelf life of ground coffee, do you happen to know the best way to keep it fresh? Should you put it in the fridge or freezer?

Sheila,
That is a good question. I tried to find out the best way to keep coffee fresh but all of the information conflicted with each other. Right now I have coffee in the freezer, refrigerator, and our pantry closet! When my husband makes the coffee, I cannot tell where it was stored. I guess the best thing to do is your own taste test, or just do what is convenient for you!
