Many coffee bean varieties to choose from
I bought Ethiopian whole bean from Jimmy's at the Sarasota Farmers Market and really enjoyed the flavor. I'm just starting to use a Hario manual grinder, and quickly found the grind size sweet spot for this bean.
I ordered Hawaiian Kona Gold Extra Fancy online a few weeks later. The package arrived in three days, though I'm only 30 miles north of Jimmy's home base. At $22 for 1/2 lb., plus shipping, it was a splurge. Five brews later I'm still trying to find the right grind size for my Chemex. Hoping that this Kona is as good as advertised.
