    Re: Kopi Luwak- expensive coffee

    Well, this just made it onto Brisbanes channel 10 news .....

    So hopefully this will make it into the next round of Beanbay. :-*

    Maybe we can get it for less than $1250 per kg ??? ;D

      This topic has been around before. Check this link http://www.animalcoffee.com/.
      At least you get a certified turd with the coffee. Might be worth putting it in a popper for real home-roasted shit.

      Actually, they sell greens...or is it browns.

      Holy crap... I noticed that these dudes live just down the road. I wonder if they have a sample...

        I have read about a farm where they file the teeth of the little carnivores, yoke them in wooden racks and force feed them the coffee cheeries(a la Goose Liver), this produces a compressed "stream" of beans free from any other digested material(the civet has a varied diet ordinarily).
        This has significantly increased the yield of the bean to satisfy the US market. Ill fish around for the link.

          I can see all the pretentious gits drinking the stuff because it is expensive. ;D

          I think I will give it a miss. I am not sure if I would like my coffee after it has passed through an animals gut (we really need a vomity smiley)

            I couldnt find any Kopi Luwak at that pommie site, but $7.00 for 125Gm of Kopi Luwak ... I wish.
            Mandailing Estate do it for $77 AUD for 50 gm http://www.mandailingestate.com.au/Content/Products/
            These guys only do the WILD Kopi Luwak though, not caged ... I guess thats eco friendly.
