Kopi Luwak-brewing mode, price and output

The aroma of cat Java coffee is easier to lose than that of 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.

The Kopi Luwak Initiative is the least produced coffee in the world. Because these beans are produced by wild animals that are already scarce and untraceable, and are difficult to control and mass produce, the quantity of civet coffee is extremely rare. The global annual output does not exceed 400kg. At the 2012 World Expo, the Indonesian Pavilion displayed Kopi Luwak, and a cup of 4 oz coffee can sell for $168 (1400 yuan). [1]

Local coffee farmers, in pursuit of high profits, bring wild civets home to raise them so that they can produce more Kopi Luwak. However, the Kopi Luwak produced by breeding civets will be much worse in color and taste. Even so, the output of this kind of coffee is still very rare. [4]

"Kopi Luwak" a bag of 50 grams of coffee beans worth more than 800 yuan, can only make 5 cups of coffee. In other words, the price of a cup is about 200 yuan. The civet coffee gift box produced by Fireboat Group, Indonesia's largest coffee supplier, sells for 600,50g at Shangpin Cafe with extremely luxurious packaging, while the asking price for 100g is more than 2000 yuan, and the global annual output in the wild does not exceed 400kg. Today, villagers in these areas not only collect wild Rwaka feces, but also begin to raise Rwaka in captivity. Large pots of picked coffee cherries were placed in front of Rwaka, and the hungry Rwaka had no choice but to eat all the coffee cherries. The taste of Rwaka coffee produced in this way is naturally greatly reduced. "scarcity is precious", which leads to the high price of Kopi Luwak, a rare treasure. I'm afraid you have to prepare 50 pounds for a cup of coffee like this, and you may not be able to find it everywhere.
