Kona coffee
 
We will be in Kona later this year and I would like to know the best places (translate that as the least expensive) to buy pure Kona coffee, if there are any. Any out of the way shops to get a good price that you know of? Thanks, Larry

Aloha jacketwatch,

The BEST 100% Kona coffee we have found is from Hawaiian Mountain Gold. They are located directly above Kona, BI...
they have a visitor center and you can visit the plantation... Ferrari Coffee Plantation... they also do tours of the plantation house overlooking Kona and the ocean. It's a 100 year old family owned plantation...

I'm still drinking their wonderful brew... I have it shipped regularly... it's a slice of heaven on our cold winter days!

Is BJ's convenience store like a 7-11?

jacketwatch, BJ's is similar to Sam's and Costco

Here that means membership is required. Same there?
