If it's good enough for Jack N. it's good enough for me. ;)

So, correct me if i'm wrong, but it's not the "processing" method that originally made Kopi Luwak a delicacy so much as the fact that the Civet only ate the most ripe cherries? This essentially ensured that the coffee was properly picked. Now that the industry has evolved, and proper picking and processing are common, is there a point in having this other than to say that you have?

prices of coffee luwak is so farious and no standards for sure, this is due to many factors, ranging from the scarcity of stock, type of coffee, where coffee originated, type of mongoose/luwak that produced it, coffee processing, and probably many more.

I have read that coffee luwak that is certified can reach us $ 1250, wow fantastic isn't it? but some are sold at a price of us $ 550. became clear that the price of coffee luwak would no standard and influenced by the quality and availability in the international market.

According to news circulating,coffee luwak circulating in the international market is only about 200kg/ year. this is clearly an effect on prices because it was monopoly, but if we buy directly to the farmers or the coffee luwak supllyer the quantity and the price is very affordable.

as an example, we suplly coffee luwak powder form ready to pour boiling with us the price range $ 280 - us $ 380, and has a lot of stock. visit http://mongoosecoffee.com/ there is two kind of coffee luwak, there is arabica and robusta, and from wild luwak and from livestock.

thats what i know about it, thanks.

I, too, have had it, and yes, it tasted like crap. Literally. I, too, feel like coffee should be more expensive based on quality and processing (or through processing), and not novelty. And I, for one, am glad the novelty of it has waned over the years.

I agree- I live where luwak is available easily...but my opinion is a great sub-origin arabica from this great coffee producing country can kick a** most of the KL I have tried.
