MD084 – Kopi Luwak Coffee at the Funnel Mill
<-- View our previous episode!
We heard of a very special coffee that was all the rage of the Hollywood elite, and at $65 a cup it’s definitely a luxury. The rare Kopi Luwak coffee brew is truly like nothing we’ve ever had before (and we drink A LOT of coffee), but what makes it so good, and so exceptionally hard to find?

At the end, Veronica said something along the lines of “I’m going to continue to nurse(?) this puppy”. I think the more appropriate phrase would be “I’m going to continue to nurse this poopy”. I don’t know what would make someone pay that much money for coffee made of beans that have traveled through some weird, furry animal’s body.

Odd calling it “Kopi Luwak Coffee” since Kopi is the Indonesian word for Coffee. Reminds me of the Chicken Pollo restaurant near me…

BAH! at a company like “Mahalo” I’d see a better fit with “Bad Ass Coffee” of Kona. No animal intestinal process required: http://www.badasscoffee.com/

My question is, how many craps does that animal have to take to make a cup of joe?

To parody my favorite Farscape moment:
“This is the rarest coffee in the world”
“Hmm, it smells like poo.”
“It’s been pre-digested to increase it’s potency.”
“IT”S POO?!!!”
Ok, fess up. It tastes like every other ordinary cup of coffee, doesn’t it?

Wai, wai, wai, hold up. $65 dolla for a (small) cup of pooped up coffee?? It betta be the sh**! LOL. I think any coffee sent through those mad scientist tubes he was filtering it through would taste good! Put some Peets coffee up in there, poop free! :)

Austin Powers: “This coffee tastes like shit!”
Basil: “It is shit, Austin.”
Austin Powers: “I thought so. A bit nutty.”

Good morning, I was reading something different about this on another blog. Interesting. Your perspective onto it is diametrically contradicted from what I read earlier. I’m still pondering with the opposite points of view, but I’m leaning to a large degree toward yours. And irrespective, that’s what is so excellent about modern-day democracy and the marketplace of ideas online.

I was thinking about spending some money on a coffee bean grinder, but there’s so many different things to take into consideration, many of which I have never even heard of before, things like: How long does it take to grind the coffee beans? How much can I grind at one time? Is the grinder electric or manual? Is the grinder a space saver? How many coarness levels does the grinder have, ie; fine, ultrafine or coarse, medium coarseness. How was the cost of a grinder? What is difference in the most expensive grinder to the less expensive grinders? Can you use any flavor of coffee to grind? Does the coffee bean grinder come attached to a coffee maker? Will the coffee grinder have a any type of timer- along with some type of auto turn off mechanism?
