Pretty gross.

It’s their civet duty. (Yes, Stephan got his royalty.)

Please tell me they wash the beans.

A LOT of people can afford to fork over for that?

Just looked it up. I wonder who the first person was to have the idea of making a drink out of pooped berries fermented in the gut of a wild animal. It wasn’t me.

“Intestine coffee”..

So Dana is no longer looking like her mom…

Wow, the haggis is in the fire, for sure….Seriously, how much cheese have all of you consumed over the years? Mimolette, anyone……..

Nice greenwashing for a coffee method that is frequently reported for animal abuse.

Unless they’re from wild civets, they’re not treated well.

Hopefully, they also make the coffee in a non-gross way.

His next question was ‘who looked at a civet and said “Hey, let us make a drink out of whatever comes out of its butt next”?’

The best kopi luwak is excreted by wild palm civets, and gathered from the fields. The stuff from caged civets is considered inferior.

The gut does most of the work, it’s the exit that gets most people.

I finally looked it up. I wonder who came up with the idea to make coffee out of that?

I’m not drinking that stuff. Leave the civets alone.
