KOPI LUWAK (CAT COFFEE)

entry picture

(In the unlikely event that Starbucks decide to offer me a commission to promote their coffee I have had this one in the oven for quite some time.  A re-post)

 

Though it may give you a seizure

There’s a roast from Indonesia

Acknowledged as the best where e’er you roam;

It will hurt you to cough up

For it’s £50 a cup,

So you’ll need another mortgage on your home.

 

To produce the perfect roast

There’s a process that they boast

Which enhances all the flavour they can give it;

For the Kopi Luwak bean

To contain so much caffeine

Has been eaten and excreted by a civet.

 

But Starbuck’s universal plan

From Japan to Yacatan

In order to compete with this a bit

Utilises two devices;

They firstly charge high prices

Then throw away the bean and keep the shit.

Well I can admit to having tasted this delectation and can honestly say, very fine it is too!

MC - I'm actually quite fond of a nice strong cup (not Kopi Luwak, obviously), brown sugar and cream. Decadent but nice.

I'm expecting a call from Starbucks soon, Colin, to arrange the TV ad photo shoot. I hope they don't get my belly in the shot.
