coffee, Coffee, COFFEE!!!

Feeling kind of tired? groggy? or do you just need that extra boost to get you through the day? You might wanna reach for the nearest cup of coffee. If this is your closest cup, you might want to reconsider, unless you're carrying quite a bit of cash on you. This cup of coffee is the Most expensive coffee in the world. Originating in Indonesia, Kopi Luwak is made from eaten coffee beans, that have been partly digested, and finally excreted by the native Common Palm Civet. This weasel-like animal, referred to as "luwak", eats the raw red coffee beans. it digests the soft outer shell but does not digest the inner beans, thus excreting them.
This process changes the bitter flavor of the beans to a more unique and desirable flavor. Indonesian coffee or "Kopi", can cost up to $600 a pound and up to $50 per cup!Unless you have a pocket full of cash, I'd head over to the nearest Starbucks and pick up something a "little" more recession-friendly.
