they make coffee from beans found in animal poop?

[brainhulk]

Should we call it the coffee hole now?

I knew this back in HS?

 

[sportage]

So how much poop is allowed in typical hamburger meat?
Well, the answer is more than none.
McDonalds Big Dump anyone???
Or Quarter Pounder. Quarter pounder of exactly what?
We eat poop all the time, like it or not, especially if one eats meat.
Why do you think people can die if meat is not cooked properly.

Old news. Just goes to show you can indeed sell ice cubes to Eskimos.

Most people like at least one fermented food or drink

I voted no because it's really expensive and all the reviews say that it's worse than normal coffee.

I'd drink it.

I wouldn't pay for it. But I'd drink it.

I've been to a farm that produces this coffee and it's not gross like you think. Plus the coffee is good and the weasel animals are super cute. Not worth the premium but it's not bitter and some people appreciate that.

Uh, good coffee isn't bitter. It doesn't need to be pooped out by a cute animal to taste good

If we call it the coffee hole than what does that make the corn hole?

The article is interesting, for all of you who completely skipped over it to answer the OP's question which doesn't really pertain to the actual content of the article. I knew they harvested pooped out coffee beans; I had no idea it was done on a torturous industrialized scale. That's ridiculous. But then again, most aspects of the coffee trade are pretty shitty for the local economies involved, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they've found a way to make it abusive to animals as well.

Clean them beans and I'd be game to try it.

Would you like your animal-poop coffee with bovine glandular excretion or bee vomit?

I voted no because I don't like coffee.

I've been to 2 different farms and I guess I got lucky since the animals didn't look as bad as that picture. Their cages are pretty small though. They definitely clean the poop off the beans so don't worry.

For the tourists they have kinda a taste test set up. So you pay a couple bucks and they let you sample a bunch of different coffees, teas, and hot chocolate. The difference is there but not worth the premium.

Nutbucket if you compare the two coffees you'd kinda understand what I mean by bitter. I like coffee and don't think of it as "bitter" but when you drink them side by side you can tell how much smoother the weasel poop coffee is. Not sure if that makes a lot of sense but it's the best I can explain it.

sounds like just an excuse to label something as a "delicacy" solely because it's disgusting and expensive

like caviar, yuck
