X-mas gift came early. New Coffee maker..

Sorry, Guys for interupting your conversation but unless that 100% Kona is being drank at Bad Ass Coffee Company on Alii Drive in Kailua-Kona, (Overlooking the Ocean) It's just...... coffee.....

I don't find anything particularly special about "Bad Ass Coffee" other than the fact that they have the sacks to use a name like "Bad Ass", but then again, that has nothing to do with the coffee. Any coffee from a reputable source in Kona is excellent coffee. That Alii Drive scene that you mention is HIGHLY over-rated.

Even if it comes from an animal's poop?

As far as I know, we don't have any coffee suppliers in Kona that sell coffee made from beans pooped from an animal.

So is the poop thing just a myth?

[wolfhunter]

The poop thing (whether myth or truth) involves coffee berries eaten by a South American varmint. Kona and Jamaican Blue Mountain get their great flavor from excellent growing conditions (both weather and soil).

Sounds much more palatable.

We don't have such animals here in PRHI.

It's real in places like SE Asia. Andrew Zimmern did a segment on his television show "Bizzare Foods". They showed the Civet Cat in the trees eating the coffee beans. So to answer your question, it's true for coffee out of SE Asia.

Thanks. I couldn't remember the right animal, or the right continent apparently.
