I have not, although I hear it's a good way to brew tea too. I don't know much about coffee, I know more about tea.
Is Keurig coffee instant coffee?

Some of the pods are real coffee, but any of the drinks that are 'milk' drinks use creamer and instant coffee.
I've only used a few pod machines, haven't really enjoyed any. Stayed at a hotel that had a pod machine in the room, the coffee was pretty awful. Decided to try buying some better pods in town. Picked a couple of contenders that looked and sounded good...
They were worse :/

I have wanted to try civet coffee, something about a $60 oz of coffee intrigues me.

It IS amazing!
I live in SE Asia now, and popped over to Bali for a couple of weeks, and so had to try the kopi luwak or whatever. Went to a plantation where they sat us down, and made us a very nice cup of coffee, using good beans. It was delicious!
Having got me and my wife to agree that was great coffee and delicious, they then made us a coffee using the civet-shit beans. Omigod! Lovely coffee.
This is the kicker - they said 'Now try that delicious coffee again'.
Compared to the civet-shit, it tasted like mud.

It's hard to go back. I'm happy drinking my McDonald's Keurig pods because that's all I know. Lots of things like that, like really old scotch.
I am curious now, are other ways of fermenting coffee done? I do enjoy fermentations, lactcobacillus and yeast.

Actually all coffee referred to as 'natural' will be slightly fermented. There's 3 ways of getting the beans out of the cherry; washing with water ('washed') or just leaving them out in the sun for a month ('natural) which results in some mild fermentation.
The 3rd way is getting a civet to eat the cherry and shit out the bean ;)
