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.

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

Do you mean in general or to the specific posts of this thread?

In general. The thought of these beans passing through a civet grosses people out, many of whom, no doubt, enjoy ingesting yeast poop because it makes them feel good.

Yea, don’t say anything about the bird’s nest soup.

Most folks seem to be satisfied with their drip coffee from 7-11. That leaves more of the good stuff for me.

Ca Phe Sua Da for me thanks. Make mine Kopi Luak.

I buy nearly all my coffee from trung-nguyen. Nothing like a steaming bowl of pho tai nam with a ca phe sua da.

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

This article is about the coffee made from beans taken from civet scat. I believe that Starbucks uses what is left to make their coffee.

That’s a pile of bullarky!!

[Monkey Face]

Why, pray, tell, would someone want second-hand coffee?? Or third hand...

[freekitty]

Exact;y, and you know the elite and wanna be elites are just sucking this one up. LOL

[Slings and Arrows]

Don’t ask me; I’m a tea drinker.

Where did you get this pic? You know it’s a “litter cake,” don’t you? It’s actually a cake for eating. It’s made with a mix, coffee-cake crumbles, and Tootsie Rolls. Notice how immaculate the scoop is...

P. S. You can tell because cats never leave their scat exposed.

From the title I assumed it was another Dunkin’ Donuts type bitching about Starbucks, again. This is even more bizarre.

Well, I’ve spent the day trying to get my cats to eat some coffee beans, but no dice, darn it.

[Monkey Face]

LOL!!

Check the tea plantations to see if any civet cats live nearby...
