I have not tried it yet because it is a dark roast and I have to drink the light roast lower acid brews.
But I sure do love the name.

(43,772 posts)and they are then collected) Wild-collected kopi luwak beans can run as high as 1300 USD per kg. and a single brewed cup as high as 100 USD.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_luwak
Kopi luwak is a coffee that consists of partially digested coffee cherries, which have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). It is therefore also called civet coffee. The cherries are fermented as they pass through a civet's intestines, and after being defecated with other fecal matter, they are collected. Asian palm civets are increasingly caught in the wild and traded for this purpose.
Kopi luwak is produced mainly on the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali, Sulawesi, and in East Timor. It is also widely gathered in the forest or produced in farms in the islands of the Philippines, where the product is called kape motit in the Cordillera region, kapé alamíd in Tagalog areas, kapé melô or kapé musang in Mindanao, and kahawa kubing in the Sulu Archipelago. Weasel coffee is a loose English translation of its Vietnamese name cà phê Chồn.
Producers of the coffee beans argue that the process may improve coffee through two mechanisms, selection civets choosing to eat only certain cherries and digestion biological or chemical mechanisms in the animal's digestive tract altering the composition of the coffee cherries.
The traditional method of collecting feces from wild Asian palm civets has given way to an intensive farming method, in which the palm civets are kept in battery cages and are force-fed the cherries. This method of production has raised ethical concerns about the treatment of civets and the conditions they are made to live in, which include isolation, poor diet, small cages and a high mortality rate. Although kopi luwak is a form of processing rather than a variety of coffee, it has been called one of the most expensive coffees in the world, with retail prices reaching US$100 per kilogram for farmed and US$1,300 per kilogram for wild-collected beans.

(25,930 posts)I'm a bit reminded of the time when my oldest was maybe 18 months old, and we (husband, self, and child) were out somewhere. The child had been acting up earlier, but now was being an absolutely text-book example of cute and adorable. Someone walked up to us to tell us how cute and adorable he was. My husband said, "We'll be happy to time share."
