If you want to enjoy the true taste of Kopi Luwak, it is recommended not to add sugar or milk to the coffee. The best temperature for brewing Kopi Luwak is 96 ℃, and the best water pressure is 9-10atm. Boil for about 1 minute 45 seconds-2 minutes to quickly remove the fire and at the same time wipe the glass bottle with a cold wet cloth to make it cool rapidly. The brewed coffee will quickly fall and show a lot of fine golden foam, so that you can achieve the most extreme flavor. Do not stir in the brewing process of Kopi Luwak, otherwise the coffee will become bitter, sour and astringent. In the general way of brewing, some people say that civet coffee can be brewed 3 times, but the above brewing method is regarded as the most essence after boiling for a long time, so rebrewing is not recommended. After eating the coffee beans, the civet breaks down the protein in the coffee beans, and many of the ingredients in the coffee beans have changed. Careful comparison of ordinary coffee beans, may be due to the acid corrosion of the intestinal tract of Luwak, the rugged surface of general coffee beans becomes obviously smooth, "biological energy" replaces the traditional processing technology, reducing the acid and bitterness in the original beans, so it is particularly mellow. What makes Luwak special is that when musk cats excrete coffee beans, their feces pass through the nearby genital palace. As a result, coffee beans are stained with musk oil secreted by their reproductive organs, giving them a special sense of taste.

Since Kopi Luwak became famous, it has been expensive, and civets have become the spokesperson of Kopi Luwak. Kopi Luwak is the least produced coffee in the world, and the number of wild civets is limited. Only experienced villagers go deep into the forest can they find them and collect feces. Although people are gradually raising civets in captivity, specializing in the production of coffee beans, the global annual output is no more than 400 kilograms. A bag of 50 grams of coffee beans is worth 1500 yuan and can only be soaked in 3 Murray for 4 cups. In other words, the price of a cup is about 400 yuan. So Kopi Luwak is not something that the average customer can afford. Some people even say that after drinking Kopi Luwak, they are reluctant to brush their teeth for a few days, just hope to have more aftertaste of the round taste of Kopi Luwak. Kopi Luwak (Kopi Luwak) is a raw coffee bean originally extracted from the droppings of an animal called a civet on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Although the most expensive coffee has something to do with shit, it also gives Kopi Luwak an excellent taste. The civet is a wild omnivore. Locals like to call it luwak, with a pointed mouth, dark gray fur and coffee fruits that are ripe and sweet and red to comfort themselves. The pulp of the coffee fruit is digested as it passes through the civets' digestive tract, while the hard, indigestible coffee beans are excreted with excrement. Coffee beans ferment naturally in the body, creating a wonderful processing process of Kopi Luwak: when civets excrete coffee beans, their feces pass through nearby reproductive organs, and the beans are stained with musk oil secreted by their reproductive organs. as a result, there is a special level of taste. After this digestion process, the coffee bean has a magical change, the flavor is unique, the taste is particularly mellow, which is incomparable to other coffee beans.
