Guide To Buying Kona Coffee K-cups

100% Kona coffee k-cups and not Whole Bean


The purpose of our “Guide To Buying Kona Coffee” will focus on 100% Kona Coffee k-cups and not on where or how to buy 100% Kona coffee whole bean or ground. Our guide’s goal is to provide insight and information on factors to assess before purchasing 100% Kona coffee kcups. It is not a definitive guide on 100% Kona coffee. We’ve consolidated our sourcing, harvesting and roasting 100% Kona coffee under our Hawaiian coffee manufacturer headquartered in Hawaii.

This guide will focus on what makes Pooki’s Mahi’s Kona coffee k-cups unique and different using our expertise in technology, supply chain management, m/ecommerce systems and data from our analytics. K-cups, Single Serve, Coffee Capsule K-cups are single serve coffee cups that brew one cup of coffee or any hot beverage is also known as Single Serves or Single Serves cups. Keurig k-cup brewers are single cup brewers. Customers have different definitions of “Single Serves” or k-cups depending on the use. This guide will focus on: Coffee capsule - Plastic cups that work in a specific system. This form is usually sold online, in hotels and some times in grocery stores. The coffee capsule will not work in other single serve brewing system. Examples of brands producing coffee capsules working in their worn proprietary system include Nespresso, Starbucks Vue, Lavazza, Dolce Gusto, Illy, Tassimo T-Discs, etc.

Factors to Assess Pooki’s Mahi’s customers are extremely selective and have varying taste profiles. A customer might consider our 100% Kona Estate Extra Fancy k-cups as “strong” while another will think it is “too watery” and opt for a 100% Maui Mokka or 100% Kona French Roast coffee k-cup. Customers who purchase 100% Kona coffee k-cups fall into two categories. Customers in the first category know their Kona coffee, have built their own taste preferences or profiles, understand the value of artisanal coffee and have a short list of their favorite brands.

Customers in the second category are new to artisanal or luxury coffees, consider cheaper cup of Joe’s served at gas stations like Folgers or knock-offs as very good coffee and are extremely sensitive to price. The second group of customers will complain immediately as soon as they have placed the order. There are five key factors to research before buying 100% Kona coffee k-cups. The five factors to consider are price, quality, product information, packaging and shipping time. Be suspicious of purchasing 100% Kona coffee k-cups priced below the average market rate such as $2.00 per kcup or if it is missing the required product information. Customers will be disappointed.
