The next step will be for Andy to grow his own coffee and then he and the mods can squish the berries with their feet during the wet processing.

I know one Mod who wont be doing that ..... Cant stand anything between my toes and especially so if its squishy :P

Sounds like typical US coffee to me!

For $350/kg, Id might be prepared to have the occasional meal of ripe coffee cherries, not sure what the market for this type of bean would be.

... on second thoughts, the $350/kg would only be enough to cover the eating of the cherries ... ;D

Id be surprised if you could get through a kilo...but then again you could jack the price up due to the "restricted" supply... ;D

I think if you eat enough of them nothing gets restricted but quite the opposite.

Re: Kopi Luwak - $350/kg

the folks in townsville who sell it for $50 a cup have told me that they also bring in the actual animal droppings - they are encased in acrylic and gamma treated by quarantine. Hmm, would make a nice, expensive key ring

Re: Kopi Luwak - $350/kg

Old thread revisited...

Sorry Jibbo, "the offer is off the table". Although there were a few that were interested we didnt make the quantity.

Well it appears that although there are a number of CSrs interested in trying this truely bizarre bean we wont get close to the 7kg order... in fact we only made it to about 1.5kg

So if it gets offered again in a smaller quantity (2kg) then we will revisit this thread.

On a personal note... PHEW! I was getting worried that I would have to try it.

...Ill update the top of the thread now.
