Most Delicious Coffee in the World - An Animal Coffee?









It's called Kopi Luwak.

This coffee that is "processed" in the digestive tract of a civet cat, Paradoxurus hermaphroditus. Stomach enzymes have a subtle chemical impact on the coffee beans, which are gathered as soon as possible after pooed by the civet.

These animals are found in southeast Asia and are related to mongooses, although they look and behave a bit like raccoons. Civets eat mostly ripe berries, fruits and seeds, but also small vertebrates and insects. Since the civets do not eat coffee berries exclusively, luwak-processed beans are not common. As the bean passes through the civet's digestive system the harsh proteins that we detect as a bitter taste are removed and the bean is passed through his system.

Once the process is complete, the Kopi Luwak beans are gathered and thoroughly cleansed before being dried in the sun. This process takes a great deal of care and you should know that when you buy Kopi Lowak coffee, this is the quality you get along with the natural rarity of the bean itself.

If you want a pleasant, smooth and an ever-satisfying coffee then you must try this animal coffee. It's well worth the purchase. When you buy Kopi Lowak coffee you are stepping beyond one of the best experiences you're likely to find as a coffee drinker.

The Best Form of Coffee Known



Organic, high-quality and freshly ground is the best form of coffee. The good parts of coffee that contain antioxidants come from the first brew, when the water passes over the grounds. In a pot of coffee, the first cup or two that comes out has the most essential elements that may benefit us. The other 6 cups are less healthy, as they are mostly the acidic, volatile oils and caffeine.

This part of the coffee harmful for the intestinal lining and body. If you drink the first extract by drinking it in the form of espresso, where a small amount of water is rushed over the beans quickly, this allows you to have all the great flavor without the over-extracted volatile oils and caffeine. From my observation, I have seen that most Americans load up on lattes. I am astonished by the fact that, more and more, coffee beverages are sounding more like desserts.
Pass on the heavy cream, sugar, whipped cream, chocolate sauces and Italian syrups.
