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 ;)
