While I was waiting in line for the Castro Theatre on Sunday, I noticed this sign in the window of the Castro Cheesery/Castro Coffee. I thought the siphon pot at Blue Bottle was the most expensive cup of coffee I'd ever seen, but at $39 a cup the Kopi Luwak beats it handily. These are those coffee beans that ferment in the digestive tract of an Indonesian civet & get pooped out before being roasted for your tasting pleasure.

Kopi Luwak
While I was waiting in line for the Castro Theatre on Sunday, I noticed this sign in the window of the Castro Cheesery/Castro Coffee. I thought the siphon pot at Blue Bottle was the most expensive cup of coffee I'd ever seen, but at $39 a cup the Kopi Luwak beats it handily. These are those coffee beans that ferment in the digestive tract of an Indonesian civet & get pooped out before being roasted for your tasting pleasure.
I thought I was having déjà vu when I saw this NY Times article today.
ReplyDeleteHow I hate it when the New York Times tries to scoop me. But remember, you saw it here first!
ReplyDeleteI had never considered the possibility of fake civet dung. Have these coffee farmers no shame?
