Anyone tried it...... If you haven't heard about it then here's a wiki link
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak
Basically its coffee cherries (before they are roasted and becomes the 'beans' we know...) that have been eaten by wild cats and err... passed though the system.. collected washed and roasted and sold togullible discerning westerners...
If you buy a cup in a posh cafe/restaurant it can cost £75 a cup
but I can get enough for a few cups off Amazon for £20... However I do have issues as firstly it can be farmed in appalling conditions for the cats and by force feeding them the coffee it defeats the object as part of the taste comes from them selecting the best cherries....
So as a coffeeholic my dilemma is do I support possible animal cruelty (obviously not deliberately, most suppliers claim they are ethical but how can you tell) and can I spare £20 for a one off taste experience.... (just about.....) so C.C'ers do I try it and have you and did taste it taste fantastically different to regular filter?
