Kopi luwak, also known as civet coffee, is a coffee that consists of partially digested coffee cherries, which have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The cherries are fermented as they pass through a civet’s intestines, and after being defecated with other fecal matter, they are collected.

It tastes smoother and is good. Their digestion of the beans strips the outer layer of the bean and changes the flavor.

Is it better? Not really. I have had it in Bali from a farm and it was very smooth. Turkish coffee is better.

It’s no more than animal cruelty, then any type of livestock farming. What the fuck do you think you get your bacon from? You think the pigs are happy in overcrowded, dirty farms? Do you think the chickens that lay eggs are happy to be confined inside a tiny cage covered in their own shit? You think cows like to eat feed corn day in and day out shoved full of antibiotics? Do you think any of the animals that we use for any type of products are happy to be slaughtered after being fattened up?

If you’re gonna argue animal cruelty, you better stop eating all animal products, and become a vegan. Better yet why don’t you farm your own food and don’t buy anything that comes from modern agriculture because all that shit is covered in pesticides, GMO’s, and all kinds of other nasty shit.

Do you really think the best way for the world to change is adopting an all or nothing attitude?

What improves the planet more? 1 person becoming hardcore vegan or 1000 people eating meat one day a week instead of seven?

See the problem?

Wtf dude. You give me all of this for a comment with four words?

You either have some vested interests with kopi luwak or you have some serious anger issues. Either ways you need to calm your tits down.

And FYI, all you said might be true but that’s still no reason for anyone to justify kopi luwak. Yes, there are a lot of other ways in which animal cruelty is happening in this world, but if everyone keeps blaming each other then none of it will ever stop.

Nah because the animals are fed exclusively coffee berrys and are extremely malnourished

At least in normal farms it’s encouraged to properly feed the animals

Also why are you so angry Who hurt you lol
