I'm doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It's a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I'm happy.

I haven't had too many Kenya coffees, but if you have a whole foods nearby this one tastes good to me.

    I've used it on decaf medium roast, Kona, and my current Kona blend and it works great, but I needed to adjust the amount of coffee as it can brew pretty strong for my tastes. I go between 14g and 12g of coffee and use a grind size equal to that I use on the V60, which is 26/27 on my Encore ESP.

    I use water that's 175 F, which is close enough. I also put in more water... I have the plunger pulled all the way below the number 4 and pour water all the way to just before the top to leave a small space to stir without making a mess. I think it's like 225 or so ml. I use a chopstick to stir.

    I also see a few other second places ones that are only a few steps. For me the aeropress recipe needs to be like 4 steps and take under a minute.
