Most Expensive Coffee in the World
Written by: tom Filed Under: Food, Luxury, World on December 22nd, 2005The most expensive coffee in the world does not hail from Jamaica or Hawaii, but instead from Indonesia.
Kopi Luwak the most expensive coffee in the world does exist, and those who drink the expensive coffee insist that it is made from coffee beans eaten, partly digested and then excreted by the Common palm civet, a weasel-like animal.
“Kopi” the Indonesian word for coffee along with “luwak” is local name of this animal which eats the raw red coffee beans. The civet digests the soft outer part of the coffee cherry, but does not digest the inner beans and excretes them.
Apparently the internal digestion ends up adds a unique flavor to the beans, removing the bitter flavor, and then beans are then picked up by locals and sold. The most expensive coffee beans can cost up to $600 a pound, and up to $50 per cup, if you can get over the fact that you are drinking such a strange brew.
You would know if you drank the most expensive coffee in the world, because the quantities of it are tiny amounts.

absoulutely disgusting!!! I dont care how expensive it is!
well this coffe is pertty damn good!!!hahaha a girl 4rm palm desert
I have myself tasted it. It’s devine flavor can’t becompared with anyother. You are insipid untill you have experienced an encounter with some
i saw that on TV and it really is disgusting!!! i’ll stick to my starbucks…
AWESOME! GIVE ME GIVE ME!!
mmmm dung
I live in Seattle and I won’t drink that Starbuck’s swill. Eww.
I have to wonder how a coffeehouse might go about importing some of that for retail sale?
Civet cat coffee has been in existence in the Philippine jungles for decades. It has been popular here ever since. I guess Asians have the true best coffees in the world due to its geography, soil texture and climate
Hmmm, anyone want to sift through my kitty litter box for some leftovers to brew … Now, how much will you pay???
Is it now?
I wonder what cafe sells it highest per cup.
I’d love to take a trip there.
=D
hell no i aint eating poop
i believe that that coffee is found in the philippines and not in indonesia.. or maybe i am wrong.. but i have watched documentaries and there…
Ok, guys. Get over the eating of poop. Guess what milk is? Milk is essentially the same as blood, only white. Eggs are, as my friend once pointed out to me, a chicken’s period. So what? In the meantime, the coffee beans are roasted and ground and passed through boiling hot water to make coffee. Ergo, no “poop” in your coffee. I’d love to try it someday, if I could find out who sells it!
Geisha Coffee from Panama is the second best & most expensive coffee in the world and does not have to go through this “animal process”;) so I guess it is PANAMA that has the best coffee in the World.
I’ve had it before. It’s delicious. I know a guy who bought several ounces of it.
I would drink it. You can try anything once.
How unique… I wouldn’t be afraid to try some. It doesn’t sound that bad. Sounds a lot better than chicken carcass rice wine I saw on the travel channel a few days ago. I really wondered how they stuffed whole chickens down a jug. Creepy.

It is funny how humans are so skittish about certain things like Kopi Luwak Most us eat from restaurants and you can be assured that not all workers wash their hands when they should, I have to complain to managements of restaurants about workers that I have witnessed not washing their hands. We all go to eateries and order food which is handled by attends that handle money and the food with out washing their hands. Money is one of the filthiest things we pass around. There is a proverb in Jamaica
” Scornful dog eat dirty pudding.” These beans are washed, parched or roasted and brewed with intense heat. I would gladly drink some of this coffee!

The reason the coffee is considered the finest in the world is because the Civet eats only the absolute ripest of beans. So essentially, you’re getting a cup of handpicked, hand-shelled beans. Except instead of hands, it’s an anus. But as someone said, the things are roasted at hundreds of degrees then nearly boiled. There would be absolutely no smell, taste, texture, or remnants of any kind of poop.
I’m actually ordering some right now! Can’t wait to try it.
It’s on the movie the bucket list haha. Sounds gross but i have heard it tastes good.
I am not sure if I would taste it or not. I guess if I would smell it brewing in the kitchen in the morning and it smelled good to me I would try it no matter where it came from. Just for a giggle watch the movie ‘The Bucket List” Where Jack Nicholson drinks it and has a great laugh near the end of the movie over the beverage. It is natural and I have seen people totally pollute there bodies with things I would never.

I thought Starbuck’s was the most expensive coffee in the world. And it tastes like crap, too.
Wow! I though Blue Mountain is the most expensive coffee! Not a coffee lover but amazed all the same!
