Explanation: for a coffee fan, drinking a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is not a dream, but drinking a cup of "Kopi Luwak" (civet coffee) is a lifetime without regret. The global output of the scarce "Kopi Luwak" does not exceed 120lb a year. Retail prices in North America and Europe cost more than NT $20,000 a pound. If you only crave one cup, the first "Kopi Luwak" will cost NT$3600, and the second will be as high as NT$2500. What's so special about this rare coffee-"Kopi Luwak"? There is a kind of wild musk cat named Luwak in the mountains of Indonesia, which likes to eat ripe coffee fruit with fat and multi-oars, but the hard hard nut (raw bean) cannot be digested. It is excreted with feces, washed and becomes a "Kopi Luwak" coffee raw bean! Therefore, many people call it "cat shit" coffee.

Indonesians find that the coffee beans fermented by the civets' intestines and stomach are very thick and mellow, so they collect civets' feces, sift out the coffee beans and brew them to drink. Because the yield is rare and the fermentation process is unique, the flavor is very different from that of ordinary coffee. Traditionally, coffee fruit is washed or sun-treated to remove the peel, pulp and sheep skin, and finally take out the coffee beans. However, Luwak uses natural fermentation in the body to remove the coffee beans, so it has a special flavor. General coffee in the second bubble will not only taste bad, but also not so strong, but Kopi Luwak can be boiled to the third bubble, each cup taste is different, the only thing in common is that it still retains the flavor of Luwak. This "cat shit" coffee, which is 10 times more expensive than Blue Mountain coffee, is always full of smelly men, and the price is still high. As a result, it has become a difficult and expensive cup of coffee in the world.

This batch of Kopi Luwak is wild civet coffee. Wild civets will find their own food to find the most mature coffee to eat, unlike captive civets, because of the poor environment, it is easy to eat civets that only eat coffee picked by humans. In the long run, civets get sick or even die. Therefore, captive civets are easy to cause the most important "digestive enzymes" in their bodies to be killed by bad bacteria because the civets themselves are unhealthy. They cannot convert the most important enzymes to coffee, or even produce toxins. So please try not to eat captive civets coffee.

How on earth should Kopi Luwak be cooked?

There are many popular methods, no matter how you cook it, as long as you feel it tastes good and acceptable, civet coffee is suitable for all kinds of cooking methods, but considering that the most precious enzyme in civet coffee is not damaged by high temperature, Mr. Coffee is most recommended to make it by hand at a low temperature (no more than 85 degrees) or by ice drop. Of course. In other ways, you can still taste the rich and varied taste of civet coffee.
