A SHARED FUTURE FOR HAWAI'I COFFEE

One of the world's most remarkable coffee-producing landscapes.

Across the Hawaiian Islands, coffee is cultivated in diverse climates, elevations, and communities. Each growing region contributes its own character, history, and expertise to one of the world's most remarkable coffee-producing landscapes.

The Hawaiʻi Coffee Association exists to unite those voices, foster collaboration, and create opportunities that benefit the entire industry.

Some people leave an industry better than they found it. David Gridley was one of those people. David was a true champion of Hawai'i coffee and a dedicated leader within both the Hawai'i Coffee Association and the Maui Coffee Association, serving as a Founding Member and Board Director. He was instrumental in establishing the annual Hawai'i Coffee Cupping Competition, which continues to showcase and elevate quality coffee from farms across our islands. For 32 years in the specialty coffee industry, David consistently advocated for higher quality standards and worked tirelessly to strengthen and unite Hawai'i's coffee community. In 1998 he founded Maui Oma Coffee Roasting Company, which he operated for 20 years, always rooting his work in care for his customers, his employees, and his community. A celebration of his remarkable life will be held this Sunday, June 7, 2026 at The Maui Arts and Cultural Center at 2:00 pm, what would have been his 77th birthday. To share a memory with his family, please email grid@maui.net. Mahalo piha, David. Your legacy lives on in every cup. 🤍☕
