Default Aussies go crazy for cat poo coffee

Kopi Luwak, made in neighboring Indonesia from coffee beans excreted by
native civet cats, is reputedly the world's rarest and most expensive
coffee, painstakingly extracted by hand from the animals' forest
droppings.
Despite the closeness of the coffee's home on the islands of Sumatra,
Java and Sulawesi, Australia's first civet cat brew has only just gone on
sale in Queensland state, selling for A$50 a cup at the Heritage Tea
Rooms, west of Townsville.

"Everyone calls it cat poo coffee," cafe owner Michelle Sharpe told the
Australian Associated Press.
"People who willingly pay the $50 are uplifted by the thrill of the
experience," her husband Allan Sharpe said."It's as good as my private
life is bad.

This is the kind of coffee you renounce your religion and sell your child
for," one taster quoted by AAP said.

Oh say, why don't they just save some time and money and go to their cat's
litter box and use that? Makes about as much sense///people are so
stupid...to willingly drink something with civet poo in it! Of course,
amny people rub civet anal gland sewcretions on their bodies whgen it's
distilled into perfume as the oil carrier but at least it doens't go into
the digestive tract....ugh....wish I had a bridge to sell....


You do. Lots of them, in fact. Take your pick and name your price. I have
no doubt you'll have takers.
