Thinking about drinking coffee which beans retrieved from feces may sound awful, but but your perspective may change if you know that poop coffee is actually the worlds most expensive coffee.
Yes, were talking about the famous Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee) that can be easily found in coffee shops in Indonesia. The price per cup of pure civet coffee is around USD 35 to USD 100 (Rp 467,000 to Rp 1,3 million) compare that to the price of regular latte sold in major coffee-shop chains.
Do you know why the coffee is so expensive?
The secret is this animal. What makes Kopi Luwak tastes so good is that the civets only pick the best, ripest coffee cherries to be eaten, and never touch low-quality ones. So coffee beans coveted from civets’ feces are actually the best of the breed.
