Don Francisco's Kona Blend Whole Bean Coffee — 18 oz Medium Roast, 10% Kona, Smooth Floral Flavor

This whole-bean blend pairs a touch of true Kona coffee with carefully selected Arabica beans, roasted to medium for balanced acidity and a rounded finish. Packaged in an 18-ounce bag with a one-way valve and nitrogen-flush, the beans retain aroma and freshness until you're ready to grind. Friendly to a variety of brew methods, it works well in drip machines, pour-overs, French presses, and moka pots so you can tailor extraction to your taste.

What flavor profile should I expect from this Kona blend?

Expect a gentle, layered cup: a delicate floral top note combined with subtle fruity undertones and a smooth, medium-roast body. The 10% Kona addition gives a hint of Hawaiian brightness while the Arabica base provides balanced sweetness and clean finish.

• Delicate floral aroma on the nose
• Subtle fruit-forward accents midcup
• Medium-roast body for approachable acidity
• Clean, smooth finish suitable for daily drinking

How should I brew these whole beans for best results?

Choose a grind size that matches your brew method—coarse for French press, medium for drip, fine for moka pot—and use fresh grind right before brewing to capture aroma. Adjust water temperature around 195–205°F and brew time to balance extraction; shorter time highlights brightness, longer brings out sweetness.

• French press: coarse grind, 4-minute steep
• Drip/pourover: medium grind, even pour technique
• Moka pot: fine grind, consistent heat for full body
• Grind fresh close to brewing for best aroma and flavor

How does the packaging preserve freshness and support sustainability?

The beans come in an 18 oz bag equipped with a one-way valve and filled with nitrogen to limit oxygen contact, which helps protect oils and aromas until opening. Don Francisco’s also partners with recycling programs like TerraCycle so customers can responsibly recycle packaging instead of sending it to landfill.

• One-way valve releases gas while blocking oxygen
• Nitrogen-flushed bag to slow oxidation
• TerraCycle-compatible for post-use recycling
• Clear labeling for storage and recycling guidance
