5 Most Expensive Coffees in the World

2. Kopi Luwak

Cost: $375 per Pound

When mentioning the most expensive coffees in the world, nothing comes close to the amount you have to shred for a pound of Kopi Luwak. This rare coffee comes from the collected and fermented feces of a civet cat. The first Asian countries to introduce this erratic coffee to the rest of the world are Indonesia and Philippines. Do you know why the coffee from a cat’s poop is that expensive? It’s not about the location or weather in the country where coffee beans grow but, it’s more of how they process it. You see, the coffee beans are fed to the civet cat. Inside their stomach, it’s where the magic starts. The acid inside the wild civet’s stomach does the ‘taste make-over’ of the coffee beans. After they completely digested it, farmers will be collecting them, wash them, and get them ready for fermentation. If you’re buying your own pack of Kopi Luwak, boiling them would be better rather than the French Press process or the classic drip.
