I bet this started as a troll and then everyone lost the plot
Me: spits coffee into the barrista’s face “yo, this coffee tastes like dirt!”
Barrista: “well it was fresh ground this morning.”
Get out! Dad jokes is that way --> !dadjokes@lemmy.world
truly a shitpost
you couldn’t, uh, and this might make me sound like a plebian, I know, but couldn’t you, like, ferment the beans yourself?
But then they can’t sell it for a ridiculous price
the animal abuse really adds that special je-ne-sais-quoi
im not sure its abuse? I know at first they were just collecting cat poop in the wild.
it being abuse wouldn’t shock me, but it seems like the only thing necessary to make this is just, like, the civets eating stuff they normally eat, then collecting their poop.
I heard they’re kept in cages and force fed the beans.
like I said; wouldn’t shock me.
It is definitely abuse. No question. I know this because I have been there and have seen the conditions they live in as well as how they’re force fed coffee beans.
wouldn’t shock me
Unlike a TENS unit.
no, mine is broken right now.
Cows naturally produce milk, I am sure there is no unethical practices there.
it wouldn’t shock me
This sounds like the way COVID got started.
Got sharted*
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.
Did you drink it black? How was it better, was it smoother/stronger? Would you get it again?
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.
Surely there’s a way to do this industrially without using actual monkeys?
We know how stomachs work, we know the enzymes in their saliva, and we can even select the best gut bacteria for the best taste, stick it all in a warm bath for a few days and you’ll get the same thing.
It would be great. My guess is, as with many things, it’s just more profitable to use the very simple manufacturing process in low cost countries
Gotcha, it’s cheaper to exploit something/someone than to do it ethically. Yet, once it is produced in mass, I’m sure it can be sold at way higher volume and thus sell at a higher revenue stream. Especially once the process is effectively efficient and cheaply done. However, the bump in upfront cost from exploiting for short-term gain to this is rather large. If only there was a relatively community driven system that already takes a percentage of people’s income to lessen the cost or burden for such services as a way to incentivize ethical processes…
I wonder how it must have been like to be the one who thought one day, “I’ll pick coffee beans out of monkey shit and drink that shit!”
Coffee addiction? Nothing else left?
That is a legendary grumper though.
Ya. I’m good on poop coffee.
The thing is, it tastes good. It’s very smooth, the beans are cleaned & roasted in an oven for 20-28 mins. Ground. Then probably, likely mixed with boiling water unless you’re doing cold brew.
It’s very sanitary & idk as others say maybe it’s because the animals eat the best cherries & it’s got nothing to do with the digestion. In any case: it is tasty.
If I recall Coyote Peterson’s crew ate some… yep, haha. They definitely thought some of the essence of dung carried over to the final product.
i would wager that any coffee given the special care that this stuff is given will taste really quite good, and certainly good enough that there’s no reason to perform animal abuse to get this specific kind.
eating cat poop: 👎 drinking cat poop: 👍
I guess you can eat the coffee beans too
What I want to know is, what was someone smoking when they decided they should try making coffee out of literal sh#t. I want the details on how it was discovered.
I remember Starbucks carried it before. It was wildly expensive.
If someone served me literal-shit coffee, I’d punch them in the mouth.
Fitting username
Did you enjoy a nice coprophilic coffee with your low hanging fruit?
How do I block individual posts, because I’d like to stop seeing this one.
No shit coffee on your feed my friend? I’m sorry, but this is a DEMOCRACYYYYYYY!!!
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
