Luxury Foods Only Millionaires Can Afford To Eat

29. $400/lb. Caffe Raro

Digestive tract items appear a few times on this list, but few are as directly and distinctly fecal as Caffe Raro. The coffee consists of the Indonesian delicacy Kupi Luwak, named after the Indonesian Civet Cat’s regional name. It bears the Civet Cat’s name because the Civet Cat has digested the coffee beans used in Kupi Luwak before roasting and grinding for coffee. Yes, they are technically poop beans. The Civet Cat reportedly only eats the finest and richest coffee beans, meaning that any that pass through is of the absolute finest quality.

The Indonesian Civet Cat can only partially digest coffee beans, so the Kupi Luwak that is collected can be roasted and ground like traditional coffee beans. However, workers typically mix them with a high quality whole roasted bean to stretch the rare and expensive partially-digested beans. You could only get the drink at high-end London cafes originally . However, you can buy Kupi Luwak directly on the internet. Are you the brave consumer who doesn’t care about the long, interesting course the coffee beans endured before ending up in the cup?
