One type of coffee I'm not so keen on trying!

Konovalov · 04-11-06, 07:53 AM

We were talking about coffee and tea recently. I came across this story today:

So would you like milk and sugar with your poo poo coffee?

I stick to my Espresso, 3mg powder per 10 ml ready coffee.

I'd like mine in a mug.

That's like Kopi Luwak. I guess there are several animals that eat coffee cherries.

I'll stick to colombian or jamacian thank you very much!

Blurp, puah...

Hopefully, seen the price, my last coffee should be a normal one.

Not a total surprise, as I know that several foods and beverages are made with something to forget.

The real surprise is that it's seen as an expensive niche market, instead of something for starving poor people.

I liked this part of the story:

Quote:

Lusina Montenegro, who collects the beans for a living, led the coffee experts to the civet droppings. ..

"Sometimes it's a big civet and then the droppings are also big, but sometimes it's a small one and then the droppings are small," she said.

Must have been news for the coffee experts. At least, I was amazed.

And this:

Quote:

Ms Montenegro puts the droppings in two containers - for the old ones, which resemble chalky beans, and for the fresh ones, which look like yellow beans in gravy.
She rinses the beans in forest streams and dries them on her patio before they are sold...

should easy Konovalov's and everybody's mind as far as hygiene is concerned.
The coffee colour really comes from the beans...

My favorite quote from the entire series is in that epsiode:

Professor: Who are those horrible orange creatures over there?
Glermo: Why those are the Grunka Lunkas. They work here in the Slurm factory.
Professor: Tell them I hate them.
