Pricey Coffee Comes From Cats Feces

Roastmaster Sells Blend For $10 A Cup

POSTED: 2:45 pm EST January 8, 2007

If you think the price of your favorite cup of coffee is already outrageous you might check out a "special blend" that runs $10 a cup.

In Minnesota, a roastmaster sells an 8 ounce cup of Kopi Luwak for a cool Hamilton.

How this blend is created may make you queasy.

The Indonesian bean is first eaten by a Civet Cat.

Once the cat "processes" the partially digested bean, farmers collect the remnants.

It's then ready to be brewed.

Those brave enough to shell out the dough and take a sip say the coffee is full bodied and rich with a chocolaty taste.
