I'm a coffee drinker too!! I love "Kona" coffee from the "Big Island" of Hawaii. Even here in Hawaii, "Kona" coffee is expensive. There are different grades of "Kona" and the one that is normally sold in the markets are the low grade and still more expensive than most coffees. The high grade "Kona" costs about $20.00 a lb.
