Most Expensive Coffee | Most Expensive

The most expensive coffee in the world is Kopi Luwak. It does not hail from Jamaica or Hawaii, but instead from Indonesia. The most expensive coffee beans can cost up to $600 a pound, and up to $75 per cup, if you can get over the fact that you are drinking such a strange drink.

“Kopi” the Indonesian word for coffee along with “luwak” is local name of this animal which eats the raw red coffee beans. The civet digests the soft outer part of the coffee cherry, but does not digest the inner beans and excretes them.

Apparently the internal digestion ends up adds a unique flavor to the beans, removing the bitter flavor, and then beans are then picked up by locals and sold. The most expensive coffee beans can cost up to $600 a pound, and up to $75 per cup, if you can get over the fact that you are drinking such a strange brew.

You would know if you drank the most expensive coffee in the world, because the quantities of it are tiny amounts.

Now, to brew coffee cat digested beans you need to be easy on the extraction and the roast. these beans because they are cover with some elements, are easy to burn, so a light roast would do. And as the taste is pretty heavy, doing a coarse ground and using a French press or drip filter would extract the flavor that would do justice to the kopi luwak.

Brewing this civet coffee is definitely easy, but trying to buy civet cat coffee is not that easy and definitely not that cheap (it is not called the most expensive coffee bean for nothing). however, do try one and see if with all these buzz, is the beans worth the price...
