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.
