Everyone who has experienced Starbucks' over-roasted beans and subsequently inferior coffee is used to the idea of coffee being expensive crap. I never thought the concept would ever be taken quite so literally....

Any recommendations for a good coffee that isn't exorbitantly expensive?

Its sales are based upon snob appeal. High price means only the snobs can afford it. Much like birds nest soup. The nests are made from twigs and bird saliva. Harvesting the nests is time consumping and dangerous, thus expensive. Most people (snobs) who eat the soup have no idea that it contains the bird saliva.

SARS jumped from the civet cat to humans so I wouldn't advise drinking or eating anything made from them!!! China killed 10,000 of them in January for this very reason. I found the BBC article about this:

I could only hope that having seen a bit of the world, I would know better than to drink cat sh@t.

After the disclosure last week that the world's most luxurious coffee is produced via the intestines of the Indonesian civet cat, connoisseurs and regular coffee drinkers assembled to test whether its flavour is really so superior.Last week? This "secret" was been known for literally years. In fact, I have never even heard it wasn't acknowledged that is where the coffee came from.

Hmmm, and all this time I've been scooping it out of the box and tossing it in the dumpster.
At the rate this guy produces, I could keep the whole forum in coffee round the clock:

Tres Rios from Costa Rico. Roast it yourself in a hot-air popcorn popper. Google it. It's not expensive.

The nests are made from twigs and bird saliva. Every bird nest I have ever seen also contained liberal amounts of bird poop.
To: SilentServiceCPOWife
If you can get them, the Millstone beans are really quite good.

Waiter! This coffee tastes like sh_t!
To: CurlyDave
Nest contents *L* Now that's a possiblity. I'm not an expert on nests so can't say for certain. Maybe that is what gives the soup its zing
