#1 I'm sorry, but reading about coffee made from coffee beans picked out of civit dung - after cleaning out my cat's litter boxes - just makes my throat close up and my gag reflex kick in.

I bet that you can find some interesting, untractable parasits in civit dung. In case the Nancy you mention is Mrs Pelosy I am sure no rantburger would even think so evil thing as to send them this coffee. Nope. Never.

#6 I'd say something snarky, but I'm of Scots ancestry on my mother's side, and I have no standing to talk. You ever seen what goes into a haggis?

#7 Probably see some version of it at Starbucks to complement their nasty overpriced burnt-cigarette-butt tasting coffee soon.

Emperor's new ~~clothes~~ coffee.

#9 Bigjim, this coffee has been in the "in crowd" groupies here in the U.S. for a while too. I've seen it on Discovery channel a few years ago.

And, BTW, what's with the commentary on Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee being "extremely rare"? I can buy that at any grocery store for just a few bucks more than Folgers. I actually enjoy the Blue Mountain coffee.

#13 Who needs civit cats? Just buy some raw beans and produce your own.

#14 This stuff has been around for a while. We were talking about it at work a few months ago. Someone commented that our own low-bidder coffee service stuff tasted like it had been excreted by an alley cat.

#16 ed: It's gotta taste better than that Earl Grey crap.

Put down the Earl Grey and take two steps back. I'm just going to "confiscate" this now and take it home to make brownies out of it . . . . :-)
