Common sense of Coffee Coffee in the "making" process of Musk Coffee

The production of Kopi Luwak coffee:

Civet coffee is made in a unique way. All coffee beans used to make coffee must first be eaten by civet cats before they enter the formal grinding and roasting process. After the civet's intestinal absorption, digestion and excretion out of the production. Coffee made in this special way is expensive, currently selling for 3500 pesos (about $64) per kilogram and retailing for 450 pesos per 100 grams in a bottle, enough to make 12 cups of coffee.

Civets are short-legged carnivores estimated to have 15-20 species worldwide. It is mainly distributed in Africa, Southern Europe and Asia.

According to Reyes, head of Civet Coffee, the protein in the coffee beans is broken down into smaller molecules during the civet's digestion process, which makes the beans more aromatic when roasted. In addition, some proteins are filtered out completely in the civet's gut, which reduces the bitter taste of coffee. In fact, the researchers wondered whether civet cats, who gulped down the beans, could break down the protein completely. However, they also found that the coffee beans travel through the civet's stomach much like the wet processing of coffee fermentation.
