This coffee tastes like shit!

!!!

This is over the line. Coffee made from cat crap? for ten bucks a cup?

In Minnesota, a roastmaster sells an 8 ounce cup of Kopi Luwak for a cool Hamilton. How this blend is created may make you queasy.
The Indonesian bean is first eaten by a Civet Cat. Once the cat “processes” the partially digested bean, farmers collect the remnants. It’s then ready to be brewed.

Those brave enough to shell out the dough and take a sip say the coffee is full bodied and rich with a chocolaty taste.

An 8-ounce cup of Kopi Luwak coffee sells for $10 at Jim Cone’s “Coffee and Tea Limited” store in Minneapolis. One-pound bags go for $420.

Roastmaster Jim Cone told CBS News: “We roast it to, ah, about 420 degrees. It’s a very rich, ah, cup of coffee, very chocolaty, ah, actually a carmelly taste around the bottom of your tongue.”

The cats love red coffee beans, especially the skin. It’s this exterior that’s processed in the cat’s digestive system and discharged.

Cone said, “There’s a skin on the pulp and that’s what’s really digested in their system. And the bean is inside that. After they’ve processed them in their body, uh, people pick them up and clean ‘em.”

The collected partially digested beans are exported all over the world.

No, they don’t carry it at Starbucks. And they don’t seem to have a web site. I can’t even find a phone number. So I guess you folks in Minneapolis are gonna have to truck over to Coffee and Tea Limited in Linden Hills or the store in Sears at Mall of America, and lay out your big bucks to let us know what’s up with this shit stuff.

That gives me an idea, I think I'll "process" my own coffee beans. Anyone want to try a cup from the first batch?

Er...no thanks, eight6.
Might I suggest "Chock Full O'Butts" for a brand name?

Heh, I read about this the other day. Bizarre! I do love a good cup of coffee in the morning but I think I'll "pass" on this one. I brought home some great, great coffee from Mexico once. Apart from that, I'm usually a hazelnut man. Still, I do like to experiment with the different varieties they sell at Fairway.

Rachel Ray (whom I loathe) is shilling for Dunkin Donuts but she said the same thing about their coffee: http://jezebel.com/345608/rachael-ray-o ... -this-shit

Maybe the Botox has altered her sense of taste.

Wow, I gagged when I changed the cat box. I couldn't even imagine there being some kind of buried treasure in there I would want to drink. Yuck, I wonder where that job sits in the list of crappiest jobs in the world (no pun intended). Amazing some guy digs through shit all day for probably a dollar so someone who has more money than sense can spend $10 on a cup of coffee. I'd like to know what sicko came up with the idea to dig the beans out of the cat shit anyway? Why would anyone even think about that? Were they just bored one day? Amazing.

Exactly. I mean, who said one day, "Hey...I Think I'll make a drink out of something that came out of my cat's ass?"

C'mon...it's not bad at all, in fact, I'm sipping a cup right now. Bit of a nutty taste really...

Nutty taste? Are you sure you processed this through process#2 and not process#1?

That's exactly what iI thought too. Who gets the idea to dig thru cat poop ?

Me, I love a good strong cup of dark roast coffee. But I'll pass on this. That's crazy expensive just for one cup of coffee ! The haughty price alone turns me off.
I'll stick to Sumatra, or Ethiopian, or Tanzanian, dark roasts like that.
