"2% Kopi Luwak" That's the key part in the description of this fake Kopi Luwak coffee. For my money, 2% might as well be 0%. Basically they have taken ordinary coffee beans, which may or may not be good beans to begin with, and put in 00.16 ounces of Kopi Luwak beans per pound. That means this bag contains about 00.30 ounces of Kopi Luwak as it's a 200 gram bag. My point? Drinking a cup of this is not drinking a cup of Kopi Luwak, but just a very expensive cup of normal coffee, period. Amazon should be ashamed to be selling this. Enjoy your fake Kopi Luwak coffee.

ok people just to let you know real Kopi Luwak sells for around $300 per pound if not more. this is a blend of beans. what they dont tell you on this page is youll be lucky if theres 3% Kopi Luwak mixed in with who knows what other beans. ive seen a similar posting like this for $50 using the same picture but it tells you its only 2% Kopi Luwak. dont buy this if you want 100% Kopi Luwak

I have tasted the kopi luwak coffee. Yes, it is processed through an animal's intestinal tract, but pleasantly, I can assert all fecatorial concerns are diminished once the beans are presented to the company by the blessed animal.

I have had this in espresso, cappuccino and regular brew form. It tastes like a very decent cup of coffee, but nothing so remarkable that it requires its excessive cost.

It is expensive at any price above the market value of a standard Sumatran bean, as the value is not in the taste (ordinary), but its exoticness.

Civets eat the coffee berries and then pass the beans. In doing so, various chemicals are extracted that normally are part of coffee we are familiar with. Is it is enough to lift the quality to one worth the investment? No.

If the idea is intriguing, and you want to say you have tasted all life offers, consider the kopi luwak bean. You will have a very good cup of coffee and a great laugh. If you are looking for a terrific flavor beyond all others, look at other beans.

Pass on this and enjoy more of something else.

This is pure marketing scheme...which I fell for because I did not read the description thoroughly enough. This coffee only has 2% Kopi-Luwak, purely for marketing purposes so they can charge you outrageous price for average coffee. The coffee itself (brewed in a siphon coffee maker which is renowned for making smooth coffee) has a highly acidic taste and leaves a strong cardboard finish in your mouth. In my opinion, one of the worst cups of coffee I ever tasted.

I do highly recommend buying 100% kopi-luwak as it is the smoothest, most organic cup of coffee I've ever tasted. Not better than Jamaican Blue Mountain, but definitely as good. Like JBM, Kopi-Luwak has it's own very unique and ultra smooth characteristics. Fantastic but at $70 a pound, it's definitely a weekend coffee.

Don't waste your money on this coffe.

Make sure when you shop for Kopi Luwak that you are getting the actual 100% Kopi. There are a number of blends out there that sport a whopping 2% or 3% of Kopi beans mixed with something else. The true Kopi has a remarkable smokey, silky character with a wonderful caramel finish that coats your mouth long after swallowing. I just shared some with my veteran coffee roaster (his first taste) and he remarked that it was the best coffee he had tasted since the old Kona before the quality dropped in the early 90's. Real Kopi should be treated like gold and with respect by: Using a burr grinder on the fine side of medium grind; making a single cup at a time; and using water at about 190F (boil filtered water and let it sit for 1 minute). Wet the grounds (about 2 standard coffee measuring scoops) with a little water at first, then pour just enough for one 8 oz. cup. BTW I discovered you can reuse the grounds from this process one more time with only a little reduction in quality if you make the second cup right away. You can stretch your Kopi dollars this way since you are spending about 7$ a cup.

The coffee gives the misconception of being Kopi Luwak, when it only contains 5% Kopi Luwak beans. It bears an average taste, which is definitely not worth the price.

Was excited when my $50 bag of coffee came in the mail to see its only 5% Kopi Luwak and 95% arabica coffee. Very Disapointed still gonna try it, havent ground it up yet.

In Indonesia you can find the brand "Kopi Luwak" in supermarket but for sure no real kopi luwak inside.
Anyways the taste isnt so bad.
I know a friend who taste the real one and she say the only difference is the smell of urine !!

This is a very good coffee, although a bit pricey, its still worth trying at least once. The flavor is great, but what you'll likely find surprising is what's missing. This coffee has zero bitterness. The first few sips will leave your traditional coffee conditioned taste buds wondering when the bitter backbite is coming, but it never does.

after living in indonesia for over 12 years. I have had kopi luwak more then a few times. Even in indo it is very high priced. I was looking for some here in the US. having just placed my order for this one the review is not really about this one but about the kopi luwak i know.

the coffee we used to get is like most indo coffee is more like powder.
like a instant coffee. But is not really instant. put some in a cup and hot water stir and wait a min or to for the nasty stuff to go to the bottom of the cup.


There is almost zero of the normal coffee after tatse, The taste to me is more like a nutty & chocolate after taste. Very smooth, and almost
Creamy in texture. More then a few of my friends who came to visit me there, said that it was the best coffee they ever had.

is it worth the price? hmm no not really, i have seen it in hotels for over 40 dollars a cup, but it is fun to get and try with friends at least once, just to say you gave it a shot.

maybe if i was rich i would get some more often lol
