So now I can buy coffee that tastes like s**t for just £50 ($100)!

I must go and stock up on it immediately.

Oh no, wait, I have some in the cupboard that tastes like s**t and costs a mere £1 ($2) per cup.

I haven't click the link but I bet that's kopi luwak, it's famous in Indonesia. Well, I haven't tried it but to judge it taste like s**t when you've never tried that seems moronic to me.

It's not made of dung. The coffee beans pass through the civets, get washed off, and then packaged like any other coffee beans.

It's a JOKE! We refer to 'animal dung' by its more common name - 's**t'.

Some people think unborn fish babies and overfed duck livers taste great, too, and they'll pay a lot for them.

I sometimes eat rocks, they're quite plentiful.

Fish eggs and foie gras can both be divine but they don't necessarily have to be expensive.
There's more out there than Beluga and truffle flecked Perigord.

Get to the point: would you DRINK it?

 

[ingwe]

Go to Starbuck's; same thing.

ditto.

There is also something called squirril dried craps with coffee, it's supposed to add more to the dark taste. I'll pass.

It must be Kopi. It's supposed to be the sh%t. Sorry couldn't resist. The acid of the coffee bean is supposedly be mellowed after the bean is digested.
Yeah I'd drink it, if you bought it!

I hereby change my avatar.

It's not Starbucks Coffee. It's Starbuck's Coffee.

 

[Uncle Erik]

I've heard of this before. No thanks. I've gotten over the specialty coffee thing - Starbucks and the rest are too expensive. I drink the office mud and anything else just for the caffeine.

I'd rather eat salmon roe, little tiny bursts of viscous salty goodness in my mouth.

 

[progo]

I'd taste it. I like good coffee. And expensive coffee as well. It goes well with my hifi hobby.
