Thanks for that aussiebottlo

I can only say

God almighty, if it is that price for a cup of coffee, what will they be charging for a cup of tea

Ah, but does this rare tea come from the heights of "unobtanium land" and can one then casually say " I have one or two a month".

Some people are just too effluent.

Is this the same coffee that Jack Nicholson has in the movie 'Bucket List' ?

Great movie by the way, if you haven't seen it.

"Kopi luwak is a coffee that consists of partially digested coffee cherries, which have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet."

Thankyou Dorian. Looks like 'Bucket List' coffee has competition.

I did some other searching as well and found it is also now known as 'bucket list' coffee.

Either coffee is out of my price list anyway.

Oooops, I don't drink coffee but strangely, love the smell of fresh brewing coffee.

You have not had enough coffee until you can thread a Sewing machine ...........while it is still running...!

Everywhere you look. Think of a topic. and there seems to be no solutions. disbelief Just the topic of coffee supply. Limited and unlikely to be able to satisfy demand soon. Same with Cocoa (chocolate)

I love that smell too.

Way back in the day, I would always have a pot of coffee brewing in my office along with gentle background music (like waterfall in the rainforest or similar). It helped keep me (relatively) sane.

Unsurprising the number of passers by who would find the need to stop & drop in to discuss some suddenly important issue .. perhaps also to cadge a cup of coffee.

No fancy $200/cup coffee for me though .. just fresh grounds in a plunger glass, sitting on an electric hot pad.

I reckon it serves what we used to call yuppies/dinks back in the day damn right, if they want to drink defecated coffee bean remains and pay top dollar for it. You could use the same analogy for young upwardly mobile women "doing lunch" whatever the hell that means and why do bikinis cost more as the material area gets smaller, I'm not complaining just raising a point :) young men I've recently discovered are spending just as much on beauty products as young women and sometimes more, it's a different world nowadays.

I heard about kopi luwak in Malaysia 30 years ago, so it's been around for a while.

How brave or crazy or desperate would you be to go through animal poo looking for coffee beans to make a brew?
