My guess is, since they eat coffee cherries, some farmer had his harvest ruined and washed the seeds out from the shit in desperation, just to get told it’s the best coffee somebody has ever had.

the story I heard (from an Indonesian dude) was the colonial plantations didn’t allow locals to drink coffee. They noticed the civits only ate the ripest coffee berries… bla bla bla, shit coffee was the only choice and it was really good?

Lol that would be dumb af, of course it’s a cat.

The “who made beverage X from Y’s excrement” has been a question for ages.

to be fair, koalas do it so… maybe the great ancestor we lucked out with were avid koala watchers.

Same energy as the people who invented birds nest soup
