Coffee!!!!

To start off with I posted this on another forum but thought everyone else might be interested in this one! =D

Ok, so I am sure many of us can agree on this, but what is one common thing that many of us computer nerds have in common? If you said coffee in the mornings, evenings and nights you are the winner. Sorry I don't have a prize to give away, however yesterday I was watching an interesting documentary on coffee beans on the History or Discovery channel and ran across Kopi Luwak.

"The most expensive coffee in the world does not hail from Jamaica or Hawaii, but instead from Indonesia.
Kopi Luwak the most expensive coffee in the world does exist, and those who drink the expensive coffee insist that it is made from coffee beans eaten, partly digested and then excreted by the Common palm civet, a weasel-like animal.
â€œKopiâ€ the Indonesian word for coffee along with â€œluwakâ€ is local name of this animal which eats the raw red coffee beans. The civet digests the soft outer part of the coffee cherry, but does not digest the inner beans and excretes them."

Being the redneck that I am I've eaten and drank all sorts of weird stuff - but I refuse to consume civet poo coffee.

However, the civet cat itself is on the menu..

Have seen things about this... still don't believe it. Anyone see Bucket List? I think Jack Nicholson was drinking it in there and didn't know what it was until later in the movie... Thought he was a big shot drinking fancy coffee...

I feel Neiman Marcus sounds fairly familiar. I believe that is correct, I don't know personally I would not mind giving it a shot. I guess I will try anything once, (stupid Tomboy instincts) lol.

Working on a ship, I've had more conversations about coffee than I care to admit and yes Kopi Lewak has come up, but most feel it's too expensive to even be considered, especially when we each drink 2 or 3 pots of coffee a day.

For those of us not willing to spend several hundred $'s a pound, there's Jamaican Blue Mountain. Only $30/lb, still too high for every day use in my opinion.

It's actually pretty good coffee. I live about 1 block from the largest coffee roaster in Alaska and usually just buy whatever they have available. Varies, but it's usually only $12 to $15/lb with the occasional $20/lb bag of something special.

that's as bad as the Oolong monkey tea. It grows high up in thick trees so they get monkies to pick the leaves. Don't know how much varmit poo is in it though.
