We thought we were comrades in arms with Matt from The Food Ass in the tireless pursuit to, erm, eliminate crap from our lives. Now, we learn that sometimes crap is good. Brotherhood of the Bean settles in for a smooth, mellow cup of Kopi Luwak Coffee:

“The Kopi Luwak, also known as the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxus hermaphroditus) will selectively choose and consume coffee cherries as part of its diet. During its magical journey, the coffee cherry flesh is removed through digestion and the coffee beans are collected for processing.”

 Because this coffee is so understandably low-yield, it’s outrageously expensive — roughly $400 per pound. But according to BotB, the civet’s digestive process leeches out many of the chemicals that make coffee bitter, leaving only sweetness and smoothness. We’re gonna have to try some of this crap.
