SURELY you could invent another way to ferment coffee beans that does not involve having a cat shit them out, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE it’s not possible to find a better way.

People I’ve met that actually tried this said it tastes like shit.

Literal shit tastes like shit? No shit, Sherlock.
Faresh@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Couldn’t we just get rid of the animals and just ferment the beans ourselves by using the bacteria in their guts?
gencha@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Don’t give people ideas on gut bacteria harvesting please

At least this one the money goes to help the elephants and the people protecting them.

Thankfully I don’t drink cofee or alcohol, but have tried nicotine. People should live at least as healthy as me (and I’ll probably die at 60).

I drank some while in Bali 😋
occhionaut@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Did you know about it before or after drinking it?
sheogorath@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Before I knew about it I only drank a cup. After I was informed I drank a liter.
SuperApples@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve had it farm fresh in Bali and at a swanky cafe in Penang. The shared characteristic was how smooth it is. Tastes different, not necessarily better or worse. Depends on what you’re after in your beverage.
In Penang, we had it with a normal espresso to compare. After drinking the Luwak coffee, the espresso lost all it’s flavour… It did something to our sense of taste!
Going through a factory you can tell there’s no chance the poop makes it to the final product. In fact, none of the cherry meat is used, only the bean, so I question what effect the digestive process has. Maybe the preparation method is different? I haven’t been to a normal coffee factory to compare.
The conditions the Luwak are kept in vary wildly, apparently the worst practices are in Vietnam. The Luwak are super cute , amazing fur, ones kept as pets were fun to interact with. The size of two house cats. Nocturnal, so I’ve only seen them active once.
I liked the coffee but not so much that I want to support demand for it. The Luwak is a totally unnecessary step in making what is already a great beverage regardless.

I always wondered why the (non-shat out kind of) cherry fruit wasn’t also sold in the West. I’ve read that the skin is not good, but the flesh itself is quite tasty.

There’s a shitty way to start your morning.

Business idea: lab grow the gut microbes of these monkeys and create more efficient pipeline for fermenting these coffee beans. But provide the “natural” offering too for people who have eating ass food fetish.
ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
The problem is that it doesn’t actually taste good. It’s the labor-intensive and “exotic” manufacturing process that makes the coffee so expensive, not its quality.

Did you enjoy a nice coprophilic coffee with your low hanging fruit?
banazir@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
It’s pretty good actually. Tastes way less like shit than your average cup of coffee anyway.
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 months ago
It had a very smooth taste from what I remember. Good coffee but not that special tasting imo.
ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
He’s going to feel so relieved
Kedly@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Unless brewing them in a special way is required to bring out the flavour, it tastes just like regular coffee to me when I had it
gencha@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I’m not convinced that this will be better than the freeze dried stuff I’ve been enjoying so far
systemglitch@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Never know until you try it. I’d be willing to brew a cup at least once.
baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 2 months ago
Please don’t, it is not only a product of colonialism injustice, it is also produced in extremely inhumane manner. To make the matter even worse, the industry consensus is that they tastes terrible.

I remember learning about something similar in The Bucket List movie.
Oaksey@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve been to one of the places and drank it. The coffee was nice but I’ve never chosen to have it again. The animals seemed happy enough, certainly nothing alarming happening. I’m sure they might prefer to roam free but you could say that about pet cats too.
cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 2 months ago
The only time I have had enjoyed this coffee was about 12 years ago when I’m on vacation in south east Asia.
And to be completely honest, it was the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had in my life.
It was 5 or 6 times the price of a normal coffee.
Two2Tango@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Did you drink it black? How was it better, was it smoother/stronger? Would you get it again?
kerf@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Had it once too. It was a long time ago but definitely one of the best cups I’ve had. Can probably be described to taste as regular coffee smells, with very little bitterness. Since then I’ve learned many producers have the animals in cages and don’t treat them well, and there are no good ways to source ethically made Kopi Luwak, so I never really felt the need to buy it again.
