Kopi Luwak: The World's Most Famous Expensive Coffee

Kopi Luwak is Bali's most famous coffee and also the most expensive coffee in the world. Tourists visiting Bali probably won't miss the Kopi Luwak factory, because every taxi driver on Bali island, even if it means detouring, traffic jams, or delays, will definitely push tourists into the Kopi Luwak factory for a tour to earn some extra income.

If I hadn't come to Bali, I would never have known that Kopi Luwak exists, because a small 100-gram package of Kopi Luwak costs over 40 US dollars - an extremely high price. For someone like me who finds even a Starbucks coffee expensive, this is completely out of reach.

Kopi Luwak beans are said to be coffee beans eaten raw by the Asian palm civet, passed through their digestive system, and then excreted in their feces because they cannot be digested or absorbed.

According to the coffee factory staff, fresh coffee beans grow on coffee trees like this.

As for how Indonesians find these excreted coffee beans in the bushes, the Indonesians themselves didn't clearly explain, and I didn't dare to ask loudly. This means that this Kopi Luwak factory actually only shows us the coffee beans before they were eaten by the Asian palm civet, and the carefully selected and cleaned coffee beans. The intermediate process is completely omitted, jumping directly to the semi-finished product. The coffee factory staff loves customers who never fully understand the entire process and remain confused from beginning to end.

Because Kopi Luwak's production is extremely limited, its price is very expensive. There are probably not many privileged people who can taste it often and drink a cup of Kopi Luwak every day. How precious is the taste of Kopi Luwak? People who love Kopi Luwak say that this coffee's flavor is exceptionally rare and worthwhile even at such a high price. People with mental barriers cannot drink Kopi Luwak even though they know it's high-quality and expensive; they simply cannot bring themselves to drink it no matter the cost.

Everything is very manual, and the coffee beans are also roasted here. This small pot is probably worth one or two hundred US dollars! I'm really worried they'll use too much heat and burn the beans.

Kopi Luwak Bean Brand Recommendations

FrontStreet Coffee's roasted wild Kopi Luwak beans have full guarantees in both brand and quality. More importantly, they offer extremely high value for money - a 100-gram package costs only around 250 yuan. Calculating based on 15 grams per single-origin coffee serving, one package can make 6 cups of coffee, with each cup costing only 40-50 yuan. Compared to coffee shops that often charge over 100 yuan per cup, this represents excellent value for money.
