    I don't.

    Some further comments:

    George Howell: "Coffee from assholes to assholes"- Within the Speciality Coffee Section, Kopi Luwak is considered to be bad, and not only so, but an insult to coffee farmers striving for quality beans world wide. The fact that this coffees origin is traced back to the animal only, and that there is no information on what bean it is (coffea arabica, canephora, liberica or what?), no information on farm, altitude, habitat or processing after the shit is washed away, tells us this could be anything, and that the character of the bean as it was inside the cherry is of no importance to the consumer. George Howell (no introduction should be needed for anyone interested in coffee) has said the above quotation. There is good coffee out there, but a good quality bean is not better after being tainted in a Luwaks stomach. Read about Cup of Excellence if you want to spend money on really good beans.

    [edit] Weasel wordsSome of this article's authors are doubtless the same online realtors who go to such length to avoid explicit description of the coffee's production process. The beans don't just magically appear outside the animal's body as if beamed with a Star Trek transporter. The coffee is, literally, poo. Delicious poo, I'm sure, but also proof that you can get so-called connoisseurs to buy anything just by charging enough for it. By the way, look for my new line of Pre-Digested Corn Kernel Snacks at your local gourmet grocer's in 2007! Happy New Year!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.43.106 (talk • contribs)

    Do other animals add their own enzymes to coffee beans? has anyone tried this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 152.163.101.9 (talk • contribs) .

    If I could get my hands on some of those berries... I would try it. I guess that would mean I'd have to take a dump in the back yard. Maybe I should put up a fence first... to keep the neighbor's dog out... so he wouldn't eat it... and I wouldn't go picking through the wrong ones. Maybe I should try gorging on cherries first... pits and all... just to see how it feels going down. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.173.85.221 (talk • contribs) .

    Did anyone besides me laugh when they read the title of this section? --dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 18:14, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

    My first wife drank Toddy coffee. It was recommended to her by a chef at a very fine French restaurant. Apparently, a lot of finer restaurants cook with coffee 'extract' like this. She thought it was the best coffee she ever had.
