Coffee Drinkers Pay Big For Cat Poop CoffeeTAMPA, Florida – A Florida coffee house is brewing up a buzz by selling the rarest type of coffee in the world—‘Cat Poop Coffee’.
‘Cat Poop Coffee’ comes from the Indonesian Civet which resembles a cat and eats coffee cherries off of trees.
The beans end up in the animal’s feces and the next step is to sift them by hand. The end result is a coffee bean considered a delicacy and only 500 pounds are made each year.
The coffee is one of the rarest in the world. The Tampa coffee shop, shown in the attached video, paid $190 per pound. Customers paid $20 for a 12 ounce cup.

You’re kidding, right? A concept so old, it was on a 2003 episode of Oprah (http://www.thecoffeecritic.com/fusion3/html/kopi.shtml).
This stuff is, and always has been, a gag novelty for the coffee tourist who is too ignorant to know the difference between quality and price.
Enough with the sophomoric scatological snickering already. Can we move on, please?
Don’t knock it until you try it. I for one though choose not to try it.
Oh, I thought that’s what they did with all that gourmet coffee. It should go over great here in Ohio. For the cat lover who ca’nt get enough. What’s next?
