Creepy Wikipedia@lemmy.world•Kopi luwak — One of the world's most expensive coffee, made from civets’ fecesEnglish
0·3 months agoThere’s an informative James Hoffman video about this.
Fraud is briefly discussed in the wikipedia page, but from the video, he’s able to estimate that 75%+ of the coffee sold as kopi luwak isn’t kopi luwak at all, it’s just normal, cheaper coffee marked up a ton.
And of course, the remaining <25% that is real kopi luwak is ripe with civet abuse.
So please don’t drink this coffee. If you’re that interested in gut-processed coffee, do it yourself like that guy in Portland (but I still wouldn’t recommend it).



Personally, mostly concerned about surveillance capitalism and mass surveillance. But I pose this more as a hypothetical for what “you” (the average lemmy user) would think is the lesser of two evils
