Is Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee) for Real
Apparently there is a brand of expensive coffee from Indonesia called kopi luwak, which is harvested from half-digested coffee beans picked from the turds of a small weasel-like animal. Is this really true?
Dear Reader:
I had my doubts until I learned that University of Guelph food scientist Massimo Marcone actually trekked to Indonesia a few years back to collect samples of kopi luwak or "civet coffee" beans with his own two hands, supplying independent confirmation that this rare and exceedingly expensive varietal does exist. Marcone figures almost half the beans marketed under the name "kopi luwak" are either adulterated or fake, however, so buyer beware.
"The secret of this delicious blend," enthuses the Indonesia Tourism Promotion Board, "lies in the bean selection, which is performed by a luwak, a species of civet cat endemic to Java. The luwak will eat only the choicest, most perfectly matured beans which it then excretes, partially digested, a few hours later. Plantation workers then retrieve the beans from the ground, ready for immediate roasting."
To be precise, the so-called "civet cat" -- more properly known as the palm civet -- isn't really a cat at all, but rather a distant cousin of the mongoose. Native to southeast Asia and Indonesia, the palm civet subsists entirely on fruit -- in particular the fleshy, red cherry of the coffee tree, which grows abundantly in those parts of the world.
Kopi luwak asking price: up to $600 per pound
Kopi luwak began showing up in North America during the 1990s at the height of the Starbucks-inspired gourmet coffee craze. It has been sold in the U.S. for up to $600 per pound and can fetch as much as $30 for a single brewed cup in some parts of the world. Coffee connoiseur Chris Rubin explains what makes kopi luwak worth the exorbitant price:
The aroma is rich and strong, and the coffee is incredibly full bodied, almost syrupy. It's thick with a hint of chocolate, and lingers on the tongue with a long, clean aftertaste. It's definitely one of the most interesting and unusual cups I've ever had.
Indonesia isn't the sole producer of civet-processed coffee, by the way. In Vietnam, aficionados hanker after the exceedingly rare caphe cut chon ("fox dung coffee," so named because civets resemble foxes to the Vietnamese), which is harvested in precisely the same manner as kopi luwak.

Coffee Made from Poop is Better Than Sex!
Kopi Luwak also known as Civet Coffee has a rather unusual cultivation method. One of the world's rarest and most expensive coffees, Kopi Luwak is renowned for its complex flavors. Before you decide to go to your local
Starbucks and order a cup consider this: It is pooped out a cat's butt. The Civet cat looks more like a drunken mating between a ferret and a raccoon than a house cat but that is the name that stuck.
Somewhere in Indonesia a rather unusual connection was made. Civet cats love coffee cherries. People love coffee. Let's make coffee from the beans that this cat poops out. The Civet cat's digestive processes are said to add the special flavor, YUMMY!! The digestive juices and enzymes break down the proteins that give other coffees their bitter taste.
If you decide to try Kopi Luwak coffee know that it has been much researched. The beans are lightly roasted to kill any bacteria before the beans are ground into coffee. Special analysis by labs have surprisingly showed roasted Kopi Luwak beans have lower bacterial levels than normal coffee. Scientific study of the chemical compounds in the cat poop coffee also reveal how completely different Kopi Luwak coffee is. This might account for the incredible taste.
Also, before you head to your local coffee place know your trip might be in vain. There are only 1000 pounds produced a year. This rarity and increasing world demand have pushed prices to about $450-$600 a pound or $50 dollars a cup.
Most people if they are going to spend $600 dollars on a pound of Kopi Luwak want the real thing. This is a matter of concern as scam artists have been passing off coffee digested by humans as the real thing. Experts suggest ordering the beans still unroasted in the cat poop as proof. This adds to the experience because you get the smell and later the joy of picking the poop from under your fingernails. I suggest you clean under your fingernails as soon as you extract the beans to avoid any contamination and maybe brush your teeth after drinking. Your significant other will appreciate it!
