TAH readers have heard about the Denver brewery that made Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout famous. Well, they’ve been outdone.
I do not recommend clicking the links which follow if you’re eating, are about to, or just ate.
Provided without comment, except to say that I don’t care how thirsty I am: OH HELL NO.
Ditto goes for their coffee produced via the same process. I could be coming off 72-hrs straight without sleep with 24 more to go, no coffee for a week before that, and needing to personally handle explosives in the next hour – and the answer on that is still OH HELL NO, too.
PT Barnum was definitely right.
That is depraved.
Customer at diner: “Waiter! This coffee tastes like shit!”
Waiter: “Thank you, sir. Would you like another cup?”
a familiar smooth earthy aroma that stayed with him through the whole experience. lol, I’ve had the same experience after eating chili mac MREs and for less than $50! lol
good gawd!! ain’t that the shit?
coming to an Assbucks coffee shop near you
I saw one of those “traveling diner” shows where they went to Vietnam. One of the drinks was made from coffee beans picked out of some critter’s shit. I guess the digestive juices interact with the bean to change the flavor.
I think they’re elephant shitting us.
I want to know who the first idiot was that tried it and said it was worth $50 bucks! Where do we find these “first timers” on crazy stuff like this?
New diss: Drink s**t and die!
Jack Nocholson: “You’re shitting me!”
Morgan Freeman: “No, the cats beat me to it!”

Horton poops a brew.
Flashbacks of Austin Powers…
Can’t be any worse than Bud Light.
Recycled coffee beans. No thanks.
Rocky Mountain Oysters are actually pretty good.
@14
Take my share. Please. No, really. Take ’em.
“an earthy flavor”. I bet it’s earthy…
What’s even funnier is that the snobby coffee and beer affetianado’s actually think it’s “the new ‘in’ thing” because it’s “so unusual” and such.
IT’S FUGGIN’ SHIT-WATER PEOPLE!
This beer is the shit man.
Nik: literally.
@5-you might be thinking of kopi lawak (sp?) coffee which is made from the beans digested from a civet. Supposedly that stuff goes for over $500/lb.
I’ve eaten worse I’m sure but I’ll stick with my Dunkin Donut stuff, thanks all the same.
@7 – The little Thai dude was probably out of coffee because the elephant ate part of his crop, so to improvise, he picked the coffee beans out of the mess and brewed it up (you know, ’cause he’s poor and shit – couldn’t afford it to buy himself – or something). Anyway…
Then, along came some idiot tourist who came along and said something like “That smells divine… so unusual! I’ll give you $50.00 for a cup.”
The rest is history.
USMCE8Ret: either that, or during the Indonesian Dutch colonial days a conversation something like this happened:
Native Chief: “Damn, those Dutch are screwing us over. But they’re powerful. How do we get even?”
Smart Native: “Chief, the Dutch like coffee – right?”
Native Chief: “Yes. They drink much coffee.”
Smart Native: “And they like rare coffee, right?”
Native Chief: “Yes. They pay much for rare coffee blends.”
Smart Native: “The luwak – he eats coffee cherries, right? And passes the beans when he deficates?”
Native Chief: “Yes. Why do you ask these questions? Everybody knows these things.”
Smart Native: “Chief, what if we tell the Dutch we have the rarest and finest coffee in the world? We can gather the luwak’s excrement, pick out the beans, and sell them to the Dutch. Since there are not many luwaks, it will be rare – and expensive. We will make much money, and we also trick the Dutch into drinking boiled weasel excrement with their breakfast.”
Native Chief: “You are now my son, and will be our next chief. Your plan is brilliant. We will do that.”
Well f*ck me to tears. I had to click the link.
How about some corn and peanut coffee?
DaveO: crack open a cold one and fuggedaboutit. Or maybe have a nice relaxing cup of java. (smile)
$50 a cup for s**tty coffee? Damn, talk about people with more money than brains!! I bet I can get the same sensation through my sinuses after eating an omelet MRE!!
@22 – That could be the way it went, Hondo. The possibilities are fuggin’ endless.
It’s still shitty coffee in my mind, and there are people in this world who are just stupid enough to buy it.
“Waiter…waiter…this coffee tastes like shit.”
“You think so? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”
OR
“Waiter…waiter…this coffee tastes like shit.”
“That coffee, sir, is $50 a cup.”
“Oh. I meant to say, this coffee is the shit.”
OR
“Waiter..waiter…this coffee tastes like shit.”
“Oh? Like it? We have some beer too….”
For those interested in a comprehensive history of kopi luwaka, and for the rest that are shit out of luck…http://en.ilovecoffee.jp/posts/view/19
I am so glad that I read the comments before I clicked the link.
FFS some people should ignore the good idea fairy.
@29 thanks – I’ll never eat a payday again 🙁

Interesting you should use the acronym for the “Wild Weasel” motto, Marine_7002. The original “crap coffee” – kopi luwak, originally from Indonesia and now also produced in the Philippines and Vietnam – is produced by an animal similar to the weasel: the Asian palm civet.
Do Not Mess With A Man’s Coffee! The first thing I told the wife after she served me some fruity French roasted crap that was coffee only in that at one time it was just a coffee bean.
