PSA: only buy luwat coffee sourced from wild luwats. Also, modern coffee is just as good as this poop coffee.
According to the article there’s no actual certification for “wild”, you’re likely just being lied to.
Just drink normal coffee.
Even “normal” coffee is an ethical and ecological disaster.
Drink water from the tap or from other local sources. Really, I mean it.
Ok, but I’m not drinking coffee for it’s thirst quenching properties.
Buy coffee from the zapatistas and support an indigenous liberatory society in Mexico
I’d really like to meet whoever it was that first convinced some gullible rich idiot that poop coffee was a delicacy worth paying thought the nose for. That person could sell anything.
His name is Tony Wild, and even he wants people to stop drinking it.
That last bit…
In my headcanon it’s the SlapChop guy.
Vince Offer is a pale imitation of the One True Salesman Billy Mays.
Are the rich’s alright?
Are you referring to this?
From what I remember, it was originally something that impoverished people did as the only way they could get coffee. It’s culinary gentrification, like lobster and even caviar. For the rich, everything is mainly a status symbol, even food and drink.
Exactly this.
AFAIK it’s good coffee because (wild) civets select perfectly ripe berries to eat. Captive civets just get fed berries.
It was very smooth from what I remember. Good, but not that special. Assuming it was real ofc.
Why would they do that when coffee trees literally grow where the chivets live? They can just pick the berries themselves instead of waiting for the chivets to shit.
civet coffee? eh, pass.
Just drink sigle origin coffee from a good roaster. It’s much better.
