Pacific Coffee Research is a Specialty Coffee Association Premier Training Campus, quality analysis & cupping lab, roastery, and Hawai’i coffee education center in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawai’i. PCR’s specialty coffee lab is located on a carbon-neutral coffee farm in North Kona alongside hundreds of coffee trees.
