Kopi Luwak

Just wanted to inform InzeledunMaster, that I'll be getting a sample (or more?) of this very expensive coffee. For free. Just got a contact that will be delivering this to me, last night. Looking forward in trying it out.

You'll have to tell me what it is like. The idea of it makes me intrigued and uncomfortable at the same time.

This wouldn't be the coffee that must pass through the bowels of a monkey or some such weirdness, would it?

 

[InzeladunMaster]

That would be it.

The thought of it sounds so decadent and Roman or something. I think I can do without drinking coffee made from beans squeezed from the anus of a fellow primate!

Do you still belong to the Gevalia coffee club, Vince?

Personally, I'm looking forward to it.

Yes, I do. I like their coffees better than the coffees I find at Kroger or Marsh. I also like having my coffee delivered to me a day or two before I run out.

I was actually pretty fond of their coffees too. I pick up some Starbucks from time to time, but even they are not quite what I am after. I like bold and bitter coffees. Starbucks just roasts the hell out of their beans, I think. I should look into joining again. I like the idea of having coffee delivered to me too! Of course, Bob has gone one step further and orders the beans green. He roasts them himself, which is an interesting notion...

I've also been looking into it. Wondering on the cost of equipment, and cost of the beans, compared to buying them already roasted at the store.

Too much work for me. If I have to work too hard to get it, I probably won't do it past the first couple of times. Even though one could order the beans and grind them oneself from Gevalia, even that is too much work for me. When I get up in the morning, I just want to get coffee as fast as possible. I don't want to grind them and I certainly wouldn't want to roast them (because I know I won't get it done the night before). That's just me, though.

If you need a Gevalia order form, let me know.
