When I visited a friend before, I was unexpectedly given a bag of Kopi Luwak. In other words, I developed my coffee habit from fitness and retraining in the past two years, studied coffee a little bit (a very shallow study of XD), and began to know how to taste beans from different places, what is the difference between expensive and cheap, where is expensive, and so on.

How on earth did Kopi Luwak come from? To put it simply, let the civets eat the coffee beans and shit them out, and then pick up the digested coffee beans from the shit and make them into super-expensive coffee beans. There are many videos and articles of unknown origin on the Internet that these Kopi Luwak are made by maiming these poor civets and forcing them to eat coffee beans every day to digest and excrete.

Although the sources of the films and articles are unknown, according to human nature, it is very likely that these are true, but Indonesia is not the only place where Kopi Luwak is produced. When I sent this bag of Kopi Luwak friends who raised moral education to me, I also stressed that these civets were naturally released in the wild and were not abused, and the quantity was very precious, because they were special, and I had never drunk them before.

The box packaging is beautifully designed, and these packages are indispensable for high unit price products.

There are only about 100 grams of beans in a small packet. No wonder the unit price is very high.

Precious coffee beans will actually be a little reluctant to open to drink.

Musk cats are actually very different from our common wild cats in appearance, more like masked palm civet or white-nosed cats.

We have not bought too many professional hand-brewing coffee utensils, although it is a bit wasteful, but coffee beans have their best taste period, and they are easy to get damp if they are kept for a long time, so the best taste is gone, so use a simple travel hand-brewed coffee pot to grind the beans and brew them. The color of beans is darker than that seen on the Internet, and it is speculated that it may be the relationship of post-processing.

Grinding beans is a bit hard and happy. Such a simple mechanical action is very suitable for relaxing when the brain is overused at work. Now there is a term called "handmade" in English called hand made. Many things that people have been doing before have now become a trend. It is a kind of beautiful remembrance and memory of the old times (very good at bullshit).

It won't take long to grind it into powder. BTW and Kopi Luwak are 100% Arabica beans. When it comes to Arabica beans, you should be more impressed by McDonald's McCaf é and carefully selected 100% Arabica coffee beans, which grow in high elevations and abundant rainfall in Central and South America. This noble and delicate bean needs 4-5 years of careful cultivation to mature and harvest, and the yield is extremely rare!

With regard to adding water, professional coffee master friends will first take the thermometer to measure the temperature and determine the best temperature and water quality before adding water. At present, we can only try to control the range. BTW portable coffee maker is extremely convenient for travel and camping.

Professional coffee players can refer to the brewing instructions here.

Such a cup of coffee, calculated in terms of a bag of 100 grams, using 10 grams each, is equivalent to about 150 million yuan per cup, which is about 180 yuan for a large cup of Starbucks. I don't think it's necessary to drink it every day, but it's not bad to drink it once in a while as an experience. Due to the shallow baking treatment, the former fruit acidity is soft, the citrus tone is bright, with a light sweet herbal flavor. The palate is round and smooth, with a long sweetness at the end.

In short, people who are curious about the taste of Kopi Luwak can buy a pack to go home and brew it by themselves. if they do not have any brewing utensils at home or are worried about becoming a tragedy, it is suggested that Baidu Kopi Luwak is sold in many stores, but the price must at least double. See one selling 300 / cup.

Some people drink coffee to refresh themselves, some people drink Kopi Luwak for the taste of life, nine times out of ten they drink out of curiosity, because there have been some people on the Internet calling on people to refuse to drink Kopi Luwak, saying that the strong feeding of coffee beans leads to mental disorders of civets, and so on. According to my actual experience of drinking, I tell you: you can drink it, but it's really not so powerful as to exaggerate.
