I actually have 3lbs of Kopi Luwak. I haven't roasted and cupped it yet but I'm kind of looking forward to it. Being a coffee guy...I just have to try it.

I heard that! I've always wanted to try some too, just never got around to doing any when I had my roaster.

Let us know when you do a cup :thumbsup:

So, how exactly are these beans harvested? Do they have hundreds of these animals in a facility, or farm, and they feed them coffee beans all day? Does someone actually root around on the ground searching for civet scat?

And how many pounds are produced annually?

If anyone's interested, I could produce something similar at a fraction of the price. I'll need a day's notice.

The animals thaat eat the fresh berries, are like cats, in that they use the same spot each day to poop, so the locals just follow thier path and collect the poop. Good to the last drop.

Being an adventurous eater, I would have no problem trying a cup of this. You can find some good reviews on line.
