Forget About Folgers, Give Me Cat Poop Coffee!

Posted by Red Kingman on

Yeah, thats what Im looking for, cat poo coffee.  Apparently it is the latest craze for the gourmet caffine crowd, of which I fancy myself a part of, but I'm drawing the line at cat poo infused coffee.  Actually I have actually HAD some of this gourmet (ew) coffee and it ws pretty good!  

The Asian Palm Civet asks "You want my poop for WHAT?

 

Cat poop coffee -- or "kopi luwak" as it is pronounced in Indonesian -- is part of a strange new and very expensive craze sweeping through world of caffeine-lovers: coffee beans collected from the dried feces of wild animals.

This specific variety, made from beans harvested the poop of the Asian palm civet, a mammal native to Southeast Asia that resembles a long-nosed cat, according to Business Insider.  Civet coffee can set your average coffee drinker back $60 for a mere four ounces of beans, NPR reports. That something like $10 or more a cup.  I was given my poop-scoops by a prominent lawyer who could afford to share some of his own.

Next up, gorilla knuckle soup!
