Let's talk over a cup of coffee!
Some want to drink it plain, black no sugar. Others want it with cream or milk. While there are some who prefers Decaf, Espresso, Latte or whatever the local market has to offer.
You'll never know what people want these days!

Indonesia's Kopi Luwak

Kopi Luwak at its finest...
Kopi Luwak or Civet Coffee is the most expensive coffee in the world, selling for between $120 and $600 USD per pound and is sold mainly in Japan, United States and increasingly throughout other countries.
It came from robusta or arabica coffee beans which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Common Asian Palm Civet.
"Kopi" is the Indonesian word for coffee and "Luwak" is local name of this animal which eats the raw red coffee 'cherries' as part of its usual diet.
This animal eats a mixed diet of insects, small mammals and fruits along with the softer outer part of the coffee cherry but does not digest the inner beans, instead excreting them still covered in some inner layers of the cherry.
Locals then gather the beans -- which come through the 'animal stage' fairly intact -- and sell them on to dealers. It is believed that enzymes in the stomach of the civet add to the coffee's flavour through fermentation of some type.
Kopi Luwak is also known as...
- Kape Alamid/Alamid Coffee - Philippines
- Weasel Coffee - Vietnam

That Philippine Civet Coffee (Alamid) is the subject of discussion upon my returning to work here in Tripoli Libya. As one of our co-employee (British guy) tried it in U.K. for a cost of 50GBP per cup. Amazing price if you compare it from Starbucks coffee. The result, I am obliged now to bring from Philippines a minimum of one kilo of that expensive coffee beans - CHEERS to ALAMID !!!
