Would you drink this (see story)? From an article by Dave Barry: ".........this coffee is named for the luwak, a "member of the weasel family" that lives on the Island of Java and eats coffee berries; as the berries pass through the luwak, a "natural fermentation" takes place, and the berry seeds -- the coffee beans -- come out of the luwak intact. The beans are then gathered, washed, roasted and sold to coffee connoisseurs."

As to answer the question at hand, I like Daein, would probably consider trying it, though I would not want to know what keeps the seeds from being digested, because something like that could not be too healthy for you.

IF it wasnt for the fact that these beans do not come from free luwaks living in the wild, bt from animals being held captive under terrible conditions
