Our Story....
Covid hit, and working as a chef at a hotel in Kapalua was not looking like a stable income with Hawaii being a heavy tourist destination. We started out wanting to make a breakfast hangout , and Farmer's Market where local people could feature homemade food and products on Saturday. So we pooled all our savings, and bought Black Betty aka (our food trailer) from some cool local chicks in Makawao. We wrapped the trailer and created IGNITE MAUI EATERY . Our friends in Lanioupoko had a palm farm, and we were lucky enough to park on the corner of Kai Hele Ku and set up shop. We had other local chefs come and cook. We featured all kinds of food , produce gathered from neighborhood farms and yards. I wanted to feature foods that my mom made us growing up, not wanting those recipes to die and be forgotten.
Then everyone had to go back to work.
Not too long after, the Lahaina Wild Fires hit. Lots of people lost their home, love ones and livleyhood. Because Black Betty was parked on the outskirts and bypass she survived. So we relocated, and again we saved up for 3 years and finally could ship her to Arizona. She may be charred, and the wrap is bus up, but she survived. So we rebuild and keep going with our family recipes, mana, and Aloha.

HONDURAN HULI
Medium roast that preserves the bean's natural fruit notes while caramelizing the sugars for a sweet finish. Low to moderate acidity.
Tasting notes include chocolate and nutty undertones. Ideal for drip, pour over and cold brew.
HONDURAS
STRICTLY HIGH GROWN
100% ARABICA COFFEE
Grown in the rich highlands of Honduras by generations of dedicated, family-owned farms. Our Strictly High Grown beans thrive at higher altitudes( 3,000 ft/1,500 meters) forcing the coffee cherry to ripen much slower. Developing complex nutrients & organic sugars resulting in a physically denser , high quality bean .
Richer body and depth in every cup.
10 STAGE FILTRATION & CLEANING PROCESS. CHEMICAL FREE
DECAFFEINATED HULI
Green coffee beans are soaked in hot water to extract all soluble components (both caffeine & flavor compounds) This water is passed through a carbon filter that traps only the caffeine, leaving behind a Green Coffee Extract that is completely saturated with coffee flavors. Osmosis causes only the caffeine to migrate out of the new beans, leaving 100% of their unique flavor to stay.
ESPRESSO FORTE BLEND
Our signature Espresso Forte is a carefully crafted six-bean medium roast blend, developed to create a rich, full-bodied espresso without the harsh bitterness commonly associated with darker espresso roasts.
By combining six distinct coffees, Espresso Forte delivers layers of flavor and complexity while maintaining an exceptionally smooth and balanced finish. The medium roast allows the natural character and sweetness of the coffees to remain present while developing the depth, body, and richness needed for a beautiful espresso extraction.
In the cup, expect a deep, rounded body with natural sweetness, subtle chocolate and roasted-nut character, and a smooth, lingering finish. Its balanced profile produces an espresso that is bold enough to stand on its own while remaining smooth and approachable.
Espresso Forte is especially versatile. It creates a rich, concentrated straight espresso and maintains its coffee character beautifully when paired with milk, making it an excellent choice for lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, Americanos, and iced espresso beverages.
Rather than relying on an excessively dark roast to create intensity, Espresso Forte achieves its strength through the complexity of the six-bean blend and our carefully controlled roasting process. The result is a sophisticated espresso with body, depth and character without an overpowering burnt or bitter finish.
