Talking Cat poo coffee £50 a cup


The world's most expensive cup of coffee - made partly from cat droppings - is to go on sale at £50 a time.

The brew is a blend of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and Kopi Luwak, a south-east Asian bean collected from civet cat droppings that sells for £324 a kilo.

Created by expert David Cooper, the blend is on sale at Peter Jones department store in London.

It is believed to be the most expensive cup of coffee in the world, reports the Daily Telegraph. Proceeds go to the MacMillan Cancer Trust.
Mr Cooper said: "These rare coffees have been slowly hand roasted for around 12 minutes to ensure that we maximise the potential of each coffee.

"The final roast colour is quite dark to ensure that the espresso is perfect
for a smooth latte or cappuccino."
Kopi Luwak ("civet coffee") is made from partially digested beans
recovered from the droppings of the civet cat, a native of Indonesia.

They are said to pick the best and ripest coffee berries, before digesting the flesh of the fruit, leaving just the bean.

Customers will be relieved to know that workers wash the dung away from the beans before sale.

Now I like cats, but not that much

Maybe I should sell some from my cat

I like cats and I like coffee but not that much either

What I want to know is what on earth posseses anyone t0 even think of brewing partially digested coffee in the first place

I guess it isn't decaffeinated coffee but rather defecated coffee

To err is human. To ARRR is pirate.

That's gross. And to have to pay £50 for the experience is outrageous. Some people really are mad.
