Oh when your beans are *ahem* hand made!

100% Genuine Rocketfuelcoffee.com Kopi Luwak "Cat Poop" Civet Coffee

Every shipment of genuine www.rocketfuelcoffee.com Kopi Luwak, the rarest and most expensive coffee in the world comes in with a new adventure in the bag. The stress level is both exciting and petrifying, as the coffee is paid for up front and customers are waiting for delivery. The coffee is in such short supply and the delivery of poor, fake or blended product is common. We have an excellent reputation for great KL.

When the beans arrive from our supplier in Indonesia, via Milwaukee, we inspect them carefully. A couple of times we have had to put them aside. American customs likes to open coffee looking for drugs, but they do not realize this coffee costs as much or more than some drugs. So the package might be ruined - although we can usually salvage that.

Once the beans were roasted too light, a "Cinnamon Roast". These beans must be roasted City to City Plus to reveal their true flavour. We order such small amounts that George, our coffee guru cannot roast them here. Back they went. Only the best beans get to go out to you.


There are farm raised civets and wild civets. Wild civets only produce a tiny amount and when farmers go and pick up their cherries, some may have been there over a year. This does not affect the coffee, it just makes the beans look rough and irregular. Farm raised civets, sometimes kept in pens or cages, produce more uniform cherries and more of them. The taste is more uniform and less exotic, but can be controlled. Also the supply and price can be controlled too. BUT be wary of what you are buying and ensure you are buying 100% pure genuine palm civet coffee.

At rocketfuelcoffee.com, in fact all through my professional life as an artist or printer or business person, I have felt that the sharing of information is the key to success.

Happy New year!
