probably immediately imagine a Starbucks cup, piping hot and topped with whip
cream. Yes sir, this has become the norm these days. Virtually everyone across
the globe knows all about major coffee chains. Since this is the case, these
coffee houses make a hefty profit. However, do they offer consumers the most
expensive coffee beans known to man? Of course not! More than likely, major
coffee chains will make use of whatever is cheap. Sadly many consumers can tell
they're doing this. But yet they still continue to purchase the coffee. How much
would you pay for the finest, expensive coffee beans? Actually, maybe you should
first know where this coffee comes from. It all starts with an animal called the
luwak. This badger-looking creature consumes the coffee cherries from their
natural habitat. Once eaten, the coffee beans cling together before passing out
of the luwak's digestive track. Okay, I realize what you may be thinking. The
world's most expensive coffee beans come from animal feces. Well, it does appear
that way. One the stool is collected, professionals break the coffee beans apart
and proceed to dry them out. After a few more steps including drying, pounding
and windowing, these pricey coffee beans are ready to go. Just so we're clear, a
mere half a pound of these much sought after coffee beans will cost you 50
bucks. Yeah, you had to know that whopping price tag was coming. That's about
ten times as much as most folks fork out for their coffee beans. If you're
interested in giving the world's most expensive coffee a shot, then simply
direct your attention to a little website known as animalcoffee.com. Yep, the
name is rather appropriate. Just don't be fooled by the way these high-end
coffee beans are processed. In reality this company strives to meet excellent
standards and they do not settle for just any beans. One thing you will notice
if you give this java a shot is that there is much finer brew out there than the
stuff you find in a local Starbucks.
