Just when you thought it couldn’t get stranger than weasel poop coffee, it did.
Anyone want to try it? I know we’ve had some folk who did try the weasel poop version before.
I wonder if it comes in an espresso roast…
No.
FYI, this might be better as a poll. Jus’ sayin’
Dang. Beaten to the punch with the story. All I’ll add is that at $50 a cup, that had better come with a blowjob.
No. No. And No.
$50 per cup? Not nearly enough! They’ll have to pay me at least $500 per cup to drink it!
I thought it was civet poop. No? 
Just so long as it isn’t that horrid mouldy-vanilla French Roast. YIK!
the processing costs has to be high. digging through some crap might not take too long to find some beans. diving into a huge pile of Dumbo dung for a few beans is time consuming.
My favorite part:
Do not want.
Eh, I’d try it. It doesn’t sound that gross to me. I mean, it’s not actually covered in shit or anything–the coffee cherries are picked out, cleaned, and then the beans are extracted. I wouldn’t pay $50 for it, but I wouldn’t flinch drinking it.
I think Qadgop was just being facetious. Although, according to Wikipedia,
Also from wiki:
Trung Nguyên Coffee is damned good coffee. They’re like a homegrown Starbucks in Vietnam, with branches nationwide. I’ve not seen that Legendee brand, but then, I’ve not looked for it either.

In the coffee industry kopi luwak is widely regarded as a gimmick or novelty item. [4] The Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) states that there is a “general consensus within the industry … it just tastes bad”. SCAA claims that almost all kopi luwak available for sale is counterfeit, as 50 times more kopi luwak is sold than produced. [5]

That is the most wonderful thing I have heard all week. Not only are the cretins who could be convinced to drink this stuff drinking coffee that tastes like shit - it turns out that they are not even getting the real shit!
I, for one, would not drink that shit.
But it’s supposed to be real good shit!
If it were free I might try it just to say I partook in one of the most pointless, decadent wastes of money society has to offer. Is it supposed to be “good” , or is it just a conspicuous consumption thing?
People poop coffee! You can make it yourself!
It makes me wonder if future historians will look back on this type of thing and shake their heads. Or they could be like "and that’s when the great dung - coffee empire got started, leading us to where we are today. "
Jeez, who else is reminded of this punchline…
“You should have seen the poor little monkey trying to put the cork back in!”
The Tilley company, which makes outdoor wear, used to run ads championing the fact that one of their Endurables hats had been eaten by an elephant three times and still survived in wearable condition. I’m not sure I’d filter my coffee through it, though.
