    I can't imagine it could be that much better than Blue Mountain or any other super-premium; then again, I just can't imagine ever having Kopi Luwak, unless a bunch of us did a group buy for samplers.

    The civets eat the coffee berries; after expulsion the berries are stripped of the outer covering, cleaned and dried in the sun for 20 days - then the Roaster roasts the beans, finally eliminating all possibility of contamination.

    I'd like to try this , too.

    I've known about it for a long time, but always thought it was both gross and a stupid idea; now that I know more about the process I find it more intriguing.

    But at about $10 a cup...ugh. I couldn't justify that kind of extravagance right now.

    i feel the exact same way. i could never justify a weeks worth of grocery shopping for my family, on 1 tiny bag of coffee. i dont even trust myself or my cuisinart(a rather nice maker my mom got us) to make this stuff. i'll bet this stuff starts turning up on hoity toity menus eventually though.

    This you'd want to make in a French press, to get the most out of it. :up:
