October 10, 2008 by A. Lee Leave a Comment

By Braddah Kimo Yes, it is usually pretty balmy here in Hawaii, but are you prepared for all of the different weather that you will find in the islands?

Espresso – A Taste of Italy in Every Sip

July 4, 2008 by A. Lee Leave a Comment

By Michael Russell Traditionally served in a "demitasse" - a special cup with a capacity of 3 oz. - as a shot, espresso is a special drink: a mouthful of sensations and flavor.
