Animal Dung Coffee

[R94N]

Leo Laporte was trying some of this the other day...can't remember what show on TWiT it was though...he liked it but personally I don't see the point.

What's a little civet poo in the scheme of things? It's not like the crap is in the coffee. After all, crops are grown with fertiliser and we all know what that contains.

I deal with enough crap as it is.

I had a packet a while ago. It's actually pretty good, but like all packed coffee it just suffers from being roasted a while ago.

Is it better than a regular pack from Starbucks? Yep. Is it better than a pack from your local coffee store which has been roasted any time in the last 3 days? No. Worth it as a novelty buy for a coffee lover though.

 

[Abstract]

It's the poo that gives the coffee that nutty flavour.

Up to the lips, past the gums, look out nuts, here she comes.

You have to wonder who long ago first came up with the idea of examining civet droppings, picking through the poo for excreted coffee beans to roast and grind... and what sort of unholy caffeine withdrawal they must have been undergoing at the time.

Fo'serious.

Wonder how much an 18-pack of this stuff in Keurig K-cups would cost? Still wouldn't try it, though. I'll stick with Caribou's Obsidian.

I've tried this coffee, it's actually pretty good. It has no bitterness at all.

To the people who say they would never try it because it was crapped out by an animal: Who cares? As long as it's clean when you consume it, it shouldn't matter. Every drop of water on this planet has probably been pissed out by something before, but you still drink it and bathe in it because it's clean now.

It does make one wonder.

Hmm... I would like a cup of coffee. Oh, darn, I'm out of coffee and the store is closed. What am I going to do?

Looks around.

Observes civet droppings.

Raises eyebrow. Hmm....

Why not ... and the story begins.
