Kopi Luwak coffee is the most expensive coffee among all coffees in the world and this attributed to the product process and the amounts available from the source. The process of production involves the animal mongoose or civet which feeds on the cherries and since they cannot be digested by the animal. Once these are harvested, the mature and high quality ones are picked for preparation of civet coffee.

When the mongoose or civet feeds on the coffee berries the skin is peeled during the digestion process leaving the mature berries intact. Once the animal deposits it waste, the good quality barriers are harvested through separating them. During the digestion process, the berries are converted to very high quality coffee; the civet coffee.

The process of the berries passing through mongoose or civet digestive system is what makes civet coffee premium. Due to the maturity of the berries, the quality makes it stand out. Getting the ready processed berries is not that easy and that is the reason why the quantities in the market very rare. The mongoose or civet digestive system does not destroy the beans since they are encased in their hard cuticle.

A singe civet or mongoose stool yields several grams and the quantities produced keep the coffee price very high. It is during the digestion process that the beans are fermented and there is no need to add any chemicals or food preservatives. The only natural additive that comes with the civet coffee is the proteolytic enzyme which seeps in to the berries as a value addition thus making it the most expensive coffee.

The popularity of civet coffee is because of its natural production method employed and there are no chemicals or artificial additives. The only drawback with this type of coffee is that it cannot not be mass produced a fact that keeps civet coffee out of reach for the ordinary coffee lovers. This coffee on the other hand is produced in Indonesia and the Philippines

What makes Kopi Luwak coffee distinctive is the taste and aroma and you cannot compare it with your normal cup of coffee. The unusual processing and fermentation through the mongoose digestive system does not augur well with some coffee lovers. The levels of bacteria in the coffee are quite low compared to the normal coffee.

The demand for the Kopi Luwak coffee keeps increasing because of its uniqueness in taste and aroma. It has become a must taste for many people and a sought after beverage. Since the production process is very slow, the price keeps souring as more people keep appreciating it.

The good new for the lovers of civet coffee is that many people are turning to civet and mongoose keeping boosting the production of civet coffee and keeping the prices low. In countries where the coffee is exported, a 0.5 kilogram of kopi luwak coffee goes for $227.
