The best coffee in the world !
It’s not hard to make you just need light roast water and an Ibriki/ jezveh ( and sugar) and a grinder that can grind…
some people like it sweet so you put in 1 tsp of coffee and the same about of sugar / cup, you put the water in it and you heat it up, don't boil it, it foams 3x and you're done. pour it into your cups and drink it.. careful though it turns into an addiction :smile:

I remember back in the 80's, the most coveted coffee was Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. Now it's Kopi Luwak. Green coffee beans are fed to a cat called a civet then the poop is harvested, washed and roasted. When I was visiting Vietnam, I saw signs for "weasel coffee". I wonder who discovered it? I could imagine someone seeing a pile of civet poop and thinking "Oooh, I'd like to make a pot of coffee". They enjoyed it with a shit eating grin.

I have never tried Kopi Luwak, largely because the idea is incredibly unappealing, but also because I've read accounts from many experienced tasters who say it is absolutely nothing special. It's all marketing hogwash, and artificial mystique. Plus there are some serious ethical implications of buying it because most farms treat the animals abominably, literally keeping them in cages and force feeding them coffee cherries. Then on top of that there is a ton of fraud that goes on because of the insane prices (i.e. selling normal beans as if they were Kopi Luwak).
