Coffee Drinkers Pay Big For Cat Poop Coffee

TAMPA, Florida – A Florida coffee house is brewing up a buzz by selling the rarest type of coffee in the world—‘Cat Poop Coffee’.

‘Cat Poop Coffee’ comes from the Indonesian Civet which resembles a cat and eats coffee cherries off of trees.

The beans end up in the animal’s feces and the next step is to sift them by hand. The end result is a coffee bean considered a delicacy and only 500 pounds are made each year.

The coffee is one of the rarest in the world. The Tampa coffee shop, shown in the attached video, paid $190 per pound. Customers paid $20 for a 12 ounce cup.

My pooch took a dump on the steps last night. It had a funky consistency like jello but it sure didn’t taste like jello.

Who said there’s a sucker born every day? Man, I wish I would have through of that. Puts new meaning to “This coffee tastes like @rap!”

It’s amazing how many unthinking responses something like this always draws.

Some produce that is labeled ‘organic’ is actually not! You can bet that there will be the same scam applied in selling these ‘poop beans’ too. A fool and money are soon parted.

I thought that’s what Starbuck’s coffee WAS made from.
