Free Coffee Sample

On our last return flight from California to Honolulu on Hawaiian Airlines, we were given samples of Hilo Hattie's instant 100% Kona Coffee, which I stuck in a drawer and promptly forgot about.

I found them this morning and decided to give it a try.

The verdict? It's okay, flavorful and fairly strong. But it's not really deep and full-bodied, if you know what I mean. There's something quite unsatisfying about pouring coffee crystals into hot water, vis-a-vis smelling it brew in a coffee maker.

So ... thanks for the sample, but I'll stick to my #2 grind Italian Roast from Peet's.
