Kopi Luwak/Civet coffee is a pretty divisive topic, but I wanted to share my understanding of it all and to answer the question of whether or not you should try it. | James Hoffmann

Most expensive coffee in the world 1st time taste test. Kopi Luwak coffee. "Cat Poop Coffee" #kopiluwak #improveyourvibe2025 #uniquesigner #coffee #coffeetime #CoffeeLover | Scott Berends

Kopi Luwak is a famous type of coffee, obtained by using coffee beans that have been eaten by Asian palm civets (hence, collected in their droppings) before being cleaned and roasted. It is said that being digested by the civet enhances its taste, and has acquired the reputation of being one of the best coffees in the world, as well as being rare and expensive. Is it actually worth its fame? It turns out that no, and there is more than one reason why to avoid this coffee. | James Hoffmann
