I can't help but thing there is a 'cosmic joke' going on when I read about things like this!
 Something like the old story of the 'King and his new clothes' or similar to the restaurants where one pays $45 for the pleasure of eating a 2 inch slice of cucumber hollowed out and filled with the chopped hollowed out cuke and some sauce - with a twig sitting merrily on top.

I'm pretty (well, not really) certain that even if offered some for free I'd have to "pass it" over in favor of my favorite (when I can afford to buy it ), That being Kona (I have a small bean grinder, makes enough for one pot). Yep it's not exactly intuitive like collecting milk from a cow (or other animal) is it...

Before one brews it,
do they boil the crap out of it?

I actually saw the program about that. It was on the Travel channel. Andrew Zimmerman. He's know for eating just about anything, and I mean anything

Can't help but wonder why anyone would choose to buy it? Surely it can't taste like the 'best' coffee in the world - and somehow I suspect one's friends would be far from impressed being offered a very expensive cup of poop coffee - ick!

You know I really love the small of coffee brewing. I can't see the same enjoyment occurring here.

Hmmm, I'd never considered that aspect of it - double ick!
Know that some will buy the 'latest thing' if, for no other reason, that having 'the latest thing' but can't help feeling a little mind-boggled about this pooy coffee. Image getting a lovely gift all wrapped up in a satin ribbon and opening it - only to find something like this. |

If I gave it to my friends, they'd probably love it... until I tell them what it is.
