Life After Coffee � The Straight Poop on Kopi Luwak Coffee
by Mike the Usurper at 7:59 pm EST, Feb 16, 2007 |
Years ago I heard a rumor of a rare coffee that was collected from the droppings of a wild animal. For quite a while, having nothing to substantiate this I had dismissed this as either an urban legend, or something so rare I was unlikely to ever have access to it. Well thanks to the coffee explosion this rare and unusual blend is readily available, though still very expensive. My interest in this was rekindled when I noticed Armeno Coffee Roasters, my favorite source for fine coffee is now carrying Kopi Luwak Coffee.
I don't even know what to say about this one. Coffee for $100 a pound? |

It's called "let's see what we can get the crazy white devils to put in their mouths". Simple as that. |

I covered some of this in my old comic in 2003. Would you trust shitty-origin coffee that didn't carry a serious premium? |

Why would you want to drink this shitty coffee? There are a lot of theories on why kopi luwak is different. Research has determined that coffee passed by a luwak has been changed chemically. Specifically the process seems to break down some of the bean’s proteins which are known to contribute to the bitterness of coffee.
I want a cup, not a pound, of the shitty coffee. |
