Many coffee companies around the world are still using the original story about wildlife digestion habits as a stunt to sell Kopi Luwak. Many companies claim that they can only collect 500kg Kopi Luwak a year. And use this scarcity to justify its high price (Kopi Luwak usually sells for $200,400 per kilogram, sometimes more).

It would be better if he could invent a way to tell whether coffee beans come from wild coconut cats or captive coconut cats.
