Hawaiian Coffee and Kona Coffee

Hawaii is the only state in the United States that grows coffee beans, mainly on five islands. About 580 coffee farmers grow about 6800 acres of coffee, with an annual output of about $10.4 million. Experts estimate that Hawaii is likely to double its current annual coffee bean production of 4 million pounds in the next decade.

Of the five islands in Hawaii, Kaua'i has the largest coffee production, with 4000 acres, Big Island second with 1800 acres, Moloka'i third with 550acres, and the rest from Maui and O'ahu.

Kona Coffee (Kona Coffee)

The most famous coffee in Hawaii is Kona coffee, which is grown in the Kona Coffee Belt on the southwest corner of the Big Island, the only place in the United States where coffee is grown commercially for more than a century.
