    Hey Victor, yes indeed it is a luwak/civet. Sharpteeth... you need to watch out for them if they get aggitated.

    Hey Alun,
    Im always wonder that, what is the taste of Kopi Luwak. It is too expensive :)

    there is no training course in here, i study from the store that i work and from the internet. If i came to Malaysia i will visit you, r u in KL? I want to migrate to KL to works in Starbucks, but they say i need PR. Is that true?

    I think the first thing is you need to apply for working permit. Im in Penang island not KL. Welcome to Penang :)

    IMHO its over hyped in the extreme. Not only is it not as rare as sellers are lead to believe, more often than not its not 100% pure kopi luwak, and its robusta not arabica. The luwak itself is an omnivore, so on occasions the cup with contain gamey, feral accents that I find quite unpleasant (mainly because my sub-concious knows its the taste of a digested egg or mouse!). Although I can easily get my hands on buckets of the stuff, I am not keen on either rosting or selling a product I do not enjoy or believe in. I will leave that to the many willing to take up the cause for a buck (or a hundred!)

    Aug 21, 2008

  • Louise

    Thanks Victor, just lucky to be at the right place at the right time to get the photo. Just got back from Singapore and Malaysia. Only got up as far as Malacca this time, Penang for sure next time around!!

    Indeed I did try the local Kopitiam coffees- as well as Malay white coffee. Most of the local coffees are robusta of course, but despite that they are OK and interesting to drink. Saw some local wok cooked coffee, just add margarine to to process! Interesting!

    Hi Victor!

    I've been searching for a coffee farm on Borneo and unfortunately I didn't find any yet. I didn't ask Matt Milletto yet but I see your based in Malaysia!

    Saturday I'll be flying off to Brunei and I would like to travel around Brunei and Malaysia, I would love to visit coffee plantations and maybe you have any suggestions or advise? Would be great!

    Thanks in advance!

    Kind regards, Mathijs Olij
