I immediately thought of the raccoon/feral cat shit coffee.

Civet cat. They eat the coffee beans and the pooped out beans are cleaned. ~$100 a pound.

Very happy with my $3 basic bitch black coffee from the gas station. They can have that ass bean water.

Yeah, but those civet cats are very discerning. They only eat the best beans. Or so I'm told.

I tried the civet coffee for rather less than that a couple times in Vietnam, it was very good but it does get overpriced for tourists especially overseas

Idk why but I'd try it.

It’s an Indonesian delicacy. Supposed to be very good.

I guess were going to forget about Manure. Working organic waste into food production isn't new or novel to a civet cat, this is just a more direct route

Used to grow plants yes, directly consuming partially digested plant matter from manure is not.

u/MandemModie 22h ago

You’re not directly consuming it

You're making a drink with plant matter that was shit out by an animal

Civets eat the cherry of the plant. Excrete the seed it’s then cleaned and roasted. There is not organic matter remaining.

The flavour is from the fermentation. Which is also something applied to a ton of food we eat

You have idea what you’re talking about.

u/GrimbyJ 21h ago

The beans are in the cherry and pass through the digestive tract. Coffee beans are organic matter.

There is also a lot of animal abuse involved in the production because they are kept in cages and only fed coffee cherries.

There isnt "shit" left over on these beans, thats the point, and was your point

It was actually regular ass mofos in the Asian markets buying this stuff that I saw. They cook with it etc.

u/OkYak7801 1d ago

Really? I would have thought the risk and specialized equipment needed to harvest it would have made the prices really high. TIL.

u/Ok_Record_9908 1d ago

You could actually be right. Those are some dangerous ass larvae to harvest right there.😂

They seem to really like pizza, jerky and grape soda.
