After spending some time with the Kona, I get a hint of something familiar, I nomally... when i used to drink coffee I would drink it black, but can't now because of reflux at night... one cup in the morning has me eating tums like sweet tarts the rest of the day... but I digress... it tastes like a flavored coffee (not a flavored cream) that I would drink at someone elses house, like a hazelnut, or french vanilla, can't really put a finger on it... I used to work for starbucks (the MAN) and tasted just about every coffee under the sun, (Black) and it doesn't really hit me as just coffee, but flavored with something... not really milky, a bit sweet, Hmmm... *Scratches Noggin* I like it, I like it quite a bit. Hmmm...
