The most expensive coffee in the world comes from cat feces

Coffee lovers, this article should interest you. Here some coffees from South America or Africa are reputed to be among the best in the world, it seems that we have found the champion in all categories. Currently the most expensive coffee in the world, at 1200 euros per kilo, is called kopi luwak (lovely name, isn't it?) and comes from… Asian civet excrement (a kind of wild cat). No, it's not a joke. One day, a person (whose identity is unknown) had the idea of ​​extracting the coffee beans which had been badly digested by the animal from its manure and tasting the result:against all expectations, it turned out delicious and full of flavor. This extraordinary coffee now delights Indonesians and the wealthiest in the world.

To taste the precious kopi luwak, you will have to pay the cursed sum of $100 (89 euros), and this for a single cup (we hope at least that it is a long coffee). As if that were not enough, the grain is ground in a $6,000 coffee maker and it is in a $3,000 grinder that it will finally be transformed into liquid. It is well known the rarer it is, the more expensive it is...

You'll have a cup of coffee, won't you?
