You may have heard his name before in connection with good coffee. What Robert Parker is famous for in the wine world with his rating system, Ken Davids is the cupper to be reckoned with when you are a coffee grower or roaster. Here’s his opinion about Kona coffee. “I will say, however, that I was most impressed by those Konas sold directly from small farms.... The standard issue, current-crop, direct-from-the farm Konas all struck me as fine to remarkable.” “...I found the quality of the roasting and the freshness of the delivery impressive. ...Many mainland roasters would be well advised to take lessons from these farmers about how to roast coffee with genuine respect for the bean itself.” (excerpt from ‘Small-Farm Konas Shine’ by Ken Davids) “Kona is not overpriced, other fine coffees are underpriced. Entire societies are being torn apart by the current obscenely low prices for green coffee. Coffee, any fine coffee, should retail for at least $15 per pound, which would enable roasters to pay growers what the growers need to get by and to continue to improve their production, thus giving us coffee lovers more pleasure.” (excerpt from ‘Are Konas worth it?’ by Ken Davids)
