Not when visiting somewhere that produces the good stuff! Coming back from Indonesia, our bags are going to be full, too. Hawaii is great though because Costco there stocks legit single-origin Kona at a vaguely affordable price, in a quantity we won’t burn through right away.
I’ve discovered third wave coffee in the last year (thanks, of all places, to an amazing shop in Tulsa called Cirque), and it’s totally changed our coffee routine. We finally ditched our drip coffee maker and switched to a Kalita Wave, a pour over device from Japan. It’s really not that hard to use, when paired with a Zojirushi hot water dispenser, and the results beat any other method I’ve tried. We still use French presses when in a rush, but the coffee’s not quite as good.
Still discovering all the variations between different origins and learning to talk about what I like and don’t like, though. It feels like my first year or two of discovering wine, where I’ve suddenly realized just how little I know. The distinction between washed and natural processes was one of my first discoveries, though, and I really like the earthiness and slight funk you get from a natural coffee...

Kauai also has some good coffee. Have not been there for a while. Too long a flight from east coast.

(I’m a huge Zojirushi fan, including their bread machines and vacuum bottles in addition to the water dispensers...)

Love my Zoji bread machine- we've use it for pizza dough every week for years with no problems, and it can even handle naan dough. (Stiff naan dough is what killed my previous inferior bread machine. )

Big Bird decided to come to visit today. I came home from a few errands and was greeted by this. I did scold Empress Cobaka and tell her she could not have another minion, especially not one this large. We simply do not have room for him.
