You can now enjoy Wild Kopi Luwak coffee in individual $5 Nespresso pods


Coffee Connoisseurs can kill to devour a cup of authentic Kopi Luwak coffee. The lush coffee gets its name from the Indonesian civet cat that consumes perfectly ripened berries to give out what reaches us as a cup of divine goodness!

The premium coffee is touted as one of the most expensive in the world, selling for almost $600 a pound! However, in recent years the cuppa has received flak for its production patterns. The civet cats which are integral to the coffee’s making are often caged and kept in rather deplorable conditions. This raises questions on animal cruelty and the legitimacy of the final product that reaches consumers.
