Cat Shit Coffee - One Hundred Dollar

April 11th, 2008 by Mister Poo

The most expensive coffee in the world costs $100 US for a shot and comes from cat shit.

First the coffee cherry is eaten by an Asian Palm Civet (not really a cat, but similar)

Then the bean is passed into the civit dung - it cannot digest the bean.

Then a human fetches the bean and grinds it and roasts it and sells it for $100 although you can get it cheaper in Singapore.

Philosophy? As we have seen before - where there is muck, there’s money.
