I’m not convinced that this will be better than the freeze dried stuff I’ve been enjoying so far
Never know until you try it. I’d be willing to brew a cup at least once.
Please don’t, it is not only a product of colonialism injustice, it is also produced in extremely inhumane manner. To make the matter even worse, the industry consensus is that they tastes terrible.

@Jezebelley sounds to me like a real shit drink
Me: spits coffee into the barrista’s face “yo, this coffee tastes like dirt!”
Barrista: “well it was fresh ground this morning.”
Get out! Dad jokes is that way --> [email protected]
This sounds like the way COVID got started.
Got sharted*
That is a legendary grumper though.
The thing is, it tastes good. It’s very smooth, the beans are cleaned & roasted in an oven for 20-28 mins. Ground. Then probably, likely mixed with boiling water unless you’re doing cold brew.
It’s very sanitary & idk as others say maybe it’s because the animals eat the best cherries & it’s got nothing to do with the digestion. In any case: it is tasty.
If I recall Coyote Peterson’s crew ate some… yep, haha. They definitely thought some of the essence of dung carried over to the final product.
What I want to know is, what was someone smoking when they decided they should try making coffee out of literal sh#t. I want the details on how it was discovered.
eating cat poop: 👎 drinking cat poop: 👍
I guess you can eat the coffee beans too
i would wager that any coffee given the special care that this stuff is given will taste really quite good, and certainly good enough that there’s no reason to perform animal abuse to get this specific kind.
If someone served me literal-shit coffee, I’d punch them in the mouth.
Fitting username
Did you enjoy a nice coprophilic coffee with your low hanging fruit?
SURELY you could invent another way to ferment coffee beans that does not involve having a cat shit them out, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE it’s not possible to find a better way.
Well yeah… Its just called normal coffee
Additionally, iirc a lot of these are unethically farmed too, like force feeding them in captivity and collecting the droppings. This also reduces the quality.
I was in Bandung in Indonesia earlier this year. We visited one of these places not realising what it was. The visitor centre had a bunch of cages which weren’t small but I wouldn’t say large enough for the size of the animal. We asked if we can see the actual farm. He said it was the largest farm so we asked to see it. Nope, not allowed.
They’re also on a strict diet. I wouldn’t be surprised if the ones not on display are force fed.
If you are a living organism with the capacity to tell misery or pain just hope that humans don’t find out you can make a product that nothing else an can. If you do end up I’m that situation, you will be turned into a biological machine that receives the minimum amount of necessities met as to not impact production.
I wonder how it must have been like to be the one who thought one day, “I’ll pick coffee beans out of monkey shit and drink that shit!”
Coffee addiction? Nothing else left?
The only time I have had enjoyed this coffee was about 12 years ago when I’m on vacation in south east Asia.
And to be completely honest, it was the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had in my life.
It was 5 or 6 times the price of a normal coffee.
Did you drink it black? How was it better, was it smoother/stronger? Would you get it again?
Had it once too. It was a long time ago but definitely one of the best cups I’ve had. Can probably be described to taste as regular coffee smells, with very little bitterness. Since then I’ve learned many producers have the animals in cages and don’t treat them well, and there are no good ways to source ethically made Kopi Luwak, so I never really felt the need to buy it again.
Surely there’s a way to do this industrially without using actual monkeys?
We know how stomachs work, we know the enzymes in their saliva, and we can even select the best gut bacteria for the best taste, stick it all in a warm bath for a few days and you’ll get the same thing.
It would be great. My guess is, as with many things, it’s just more profitable to use the very simple manufacturing process in low cost countries
Gotcha, it’s cheaper to exploit something/someone than to do it ethically. Yet, once it is produced in mass, I’m sure it can be sold at way higher volume and thus sell at a higher revenue stream. Especially once the process is effectively efficient and cheaply done. However, the bump in upfront cost from exploiting for short-term gain to this is rather large. If only there was a relatively community driven system that already takes a percentage of people’s income to lessen the cost or burden for such services as a way to incentivize ethical processes…
I remember Starbucks carried it before. It was wildly expensive.
How do I block individual posts, because I’d like to stop seeing this one.
No shit coffee on your feed my friend? I’m sorry, but this is a DEMOCRACYYYYYYY!!!
If you’re thrifty like myself you can eat the beans yourself for a homemade version
Ya. I’m good on poop coffee.
