This week’s poll question is “Have You Ever Tried Kopi Luwak?”
Kopi Luwak, AKA Civet Coffee one of the rarest and most expensive coffees in the world. It’s made from coffee cherries that were eaten and passed through the digestive tract of the Civet, a cat like animal. The civets eat the cherries, but the beans pass through their system undigested. The cherries are then collected, cleaned and roasted.
If you have tried it, what did you think of it?
Before I won a bag of Rocket Fuel Coffee Kopi Luwak earlier this year from Coffee Cup News, I never thought that I would drink it. I’ll admit that it does sound a little disgusting. However, the cleaning and roasting process purifies it and by the time it makes it to the coffee cup, it’s perfectly safe to drink. Call me weird, but I thought it was a delicious too. Read my review of Kopi Luwak.
Last week’s question was “Pick Your Roast?”
All week long Medium Roast had a dominating lead, but literally over night, Dark Roast came from behind to tie it. Each choice received 38% of the vote.
Light Roast finished last with 24% of the vote.
I was surprised that medium roast had such a lead the whole time. Many of you guys, the readers of Daily Shot Of Coffee mention your fondness of dark roasts in the comments, on Facebook and Twitter often. It looks like all the dark roast fans just waited until the last night to vote.

I’d like to try it! It’s freakin’ expensive though. It’s going on my list of things to buy when I have a spare Benjamin to blow, like a bottle of vintage Dom champagne.
My mother always told me I have champagne taste on a beer budget…sigh. She was right. I’m not high maintenance in regards to “having to have” everything nice, I just like it, and expensive coffee reeks of quality to me, and I love me some quality LOL.
I’m the same way. Luckily, I’ve been fortunate enough to try Dom. However, it didn’t even compare to Kopu Luwak, in my opinion. But then again, I’m more of a coffee drinker than anything champagne.
wow so it’s that good, huh? LOL I’ll admit that KL sounds a tad freaky to me, getting eaten, digested, and then, uh…left behind
I’ll try *most* anything at least once though.
Try it just once. Just to say you did at least. I think everyone should just try it once.
I love your blog. Thank for the great post. I’ve bookmarked and will be back many times.
Thanks for stopping by.
