World's most expensive coffee is processed through a cat (Yes, you read that correctly)

I can just see one of those spit-takes when someone has that coffee in their mouth and another person told them where it came from.

I’m not that big on coffee,anyway. It gives me heartburn.

[TigersEye]

In this case I think I’d say about the same thing.

I love coffee and I am known to be somewhat adventurous with food, but I am not keen on consuming something that was picked out of an animal's dung.

This featured in that Jack Nicholson-Morgan Freeman movie about death, some years back...

It's not that great.

I imagine that this is mainly about marketing and the power of suggestion, with a target audience of people who have more money than sense and who want to be able to have something 'exotic' to talk about at cocktail parties.

[Stoat]

if this coffee tastes so dam good you would think someone would mimic the ‘process’?

And acid bath and warm fermentation...

I think that the US Patent Office would be delighted to issue a patent for a Civet Digestive Replicator  ;-)

[Stoat]

So, if one gets too snooty to drink burned coffee with other coffee snobs, they can upgrade to cat feces?

 

I'm guessing that the typical Civet would be a lot more fun to spend time with than the generic facially-pierced Starbucks barista  :-)

I would never give coffee to a cat. Poor thing might only sleep 20 hours a day.

I've dealt with that crowd. And I've cooked for them. And overcharged them horribly.

You are absolutely correct.

I can import my Tres Rios and roast it myself for less than I can buy Folgers. Of course, I have contacts, and I know what time of year to buy coffee to get the best price and best quality. It's good to be the cook. ;)

Indeed, and it might develop an interest in interest in a punk band named "Civet"

Three hundred years ago Dutch colonizers banned the Indonesians from drinking coffee.

Ok that is just mean!

The Bucket List! Great flick, but then all movies with Morgan Freeman are great!

Anyone can make a fantastic cup of coffee out of a regular supermarket blend of whatever you like.

Get an Aerobie coffee maker for 25 bucks - amazon has them now for free shipping. Follow the directions. The key is getting the water to around 180 degrees. Not too hot to activate the tannens in the coffee and make it bitter. The coffee turns out great.

Beat me to it... first thing that came to mindafter reading the title. Just imagine how this “delicacy” was discovered. Just try and imagine the thought process and conversation that took place to come up with this bright idea and the discussions which took place as to what to say when MARKETING this S@&$!

[TheBattman]

Costa Rican is quite good - somewhat similar to the Guatemalan that I really love. Community Coffee actually has a pretty good Guatemalan available.

[Secret Agent Man]

I would think that people having a heightened interest in things coming out of anuses, fecal fetishes, of just have otherwise boring lives and having nothing else interesting to say, may gravitate towards a coffee like this.

Fill in the blank as to who you think fit those groups.

Reminds you of a certain recent South Park episode? Stan becomes a cynical a$$hole?
