My thoughts on…"crappy" coffee
January 9th 2007 -
Coffee. More than a pick-me-up, it is a catalyst for socialization, as ten seasons of Friends has taught us. There’s nothing quite like chilling at the local coffee shop with your friends while drinking a cup o’ Joe extracted from the faeces of an Indonesian cat. Wait! WTF?! That’s exactly what’s happening at Jim Cone’s “Coffee and Tea Ltd.” Kopi Luwak coffee, as it is called, is being sold there for $10 for an 8-ounce cup and $420 for a one-pound bag. Talk about a steaming pile of crap. And guess what? It’s selling like hot bread in winter. Coffee connoisseurs love the taste, despite the gross process. the beans are harvested from the excrement of Civet cats, who eat and digest them. “I’m really interested because of the way that it’s processed,” coffee lover Bonnie Riley said. “It is very rich and soft,” Kopi Luwak drinker Alex Danzberger said. “There’s definitely a different flavor to it and you can’t quite describe what it is. I hate to think what it is but it is very good.” You and me both brother.
These guys seem to have taken a page out of Austin Powers. I bet “it’s a bit nutty.” So lemme get this straight. They want me to pay $10 the eat drink shit? I don’t think so. Something like this could only happen in Minnesota or some other “white” part of the States. This couldn’t fly in Harlem or Brooklyn. Major chains like Starbucks don’t offer it. I wonder why? But why am I surprised? Fear Factor has taught me that nothing is taboo for the American palette. Kopi Luwak lovers, I’ve got some warm, fresh, homemade brownies that you may be interested in. Oh, Domino’s beat me to it. So the next time you say, “This coffee tastes like crap,” you may be paying the brewer a compliment.
