Cat poop coffee is produced from the feces of Indonesian coconut cats (a kind of civet cat), so it is called "cat poop coffee". This kind of animal mainly feeds on coffee beans. After fermentation in coconut cat stomach, protein is destroyed, short peptides and more free amino acids are produced, the bitter taste of coffee will be reduced, and the feces discharged will be the main raw material. Since coffee beans cannot be digested, they will be excreted. After washing and baking, they become cat feces coffee. Coffee critic Chris Rubin said,"The bouquet is so rich and intense, and the coffee is incredibly rich, almost syrupy. The thickness and chocolaty texture of it, and lingering on the tongue for a long time, pure aftertaste."

Coconut cats are omnivorous animals. In addition to eating seeds for a living, they also eat insects, snakes, birds, amphibians and reptiles. Therefore, the feces discharged by real wild coconut cats will be mixed with various substances. Indonesian local farmers catch coconut cats to raise and feed coffee beans to make them. However, there was still a certain difference between artificial cultivation and natural cultivation.
