How to deal with cat poop coffee beans and the precautions when drinking cat poop coffee beans

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

Cat poop coffee beans are produced by the feces of Indonesian coconut cats (a kind of civets) as raw materials, so they are called "cat poop coffee beans". This kind of animal mainly feeds on coffee beans. After completing fermentation in the coconut cat's stomach, it destroys proteins, produces short peptides and more free amino acids, reduces the bitterness of coffee, and then excretes feces as the main raw material. Because coffee beans cannot be digested, they are excreted and become cat poop coffee beans after washing and baking.

Musk cats haunt at night, rely on their eyesight and sense of smell, choose the reddest coffee fruits to eat, and are not interested in half-unripe raw fruits, so the beans excreted are all ripe and well-ripe. These fecal beans are washed and then baked, killing all bacteria. The biggest feature is that the flavor is gentle and the taste is doubled. The basic flavor depends on the variety of coffee the civet eats.

In New York, a pound of civet coffee costs $500, while in Hong Kong, a cup of civet costs $50. But many people do not know that Kopi Luwak was once a poor coffee in Indonesia. During the harvest season, the government sends people to local farms to buy coffee fruits, which are sold to the authorities, while farmers pick up civet droppings and wash coffee beans with clean water. It is ironic that children from poor families have grown up drinking coffee and now they have become the most expensive beans in the world.

The aroma of Kopi Luwak is easier to lose than ordinary coffee. In order to maintain the flavor, coffee beans should be packaged independently and then injected with nitrogen to prevent the oxidation of coffee beans. The production process is complicated and rigorous. If you want to enjoy the true taste of Kopi Luwak, do not add sugar or milk to your coffee. It is recommended to use an air stopper (Siphon siphon), add 160g / 180ml (ml) of pure water, pour 17g (grams) of coffee powder with about 2 flat spoons of coffee, and gently press down the raised coffee powder with flat bamboo slices after the water boils up. Remember! Do not stir, otherwise the coffee will become bitter, sour and astringent.

The water temperature is 96 ℃, the water pressure is 9-10atm, boil for about 1 minute 45 seconds ~ 2 minutes, quickly remove the fire source and wipe the glass bottle with a cold wet cloth to make it cool rapidly, the brewed coffee will quickly fall and show a large number of golden fine foam, so that the ultimate flavor can be achieved. In the general way of brewing, some people say that civet coffee can be brewed for 2 or 3 times, but the above brewing method is regarded as the essence after boiling for a long time, so rebrewing is not recommended.
