No, and I don’t think it would be good or good for you. Birds can eat berries that are poisonous to humans and not poisonous to them. After I read this question, I have heard the same thing…somewhere, but I cannot remember where I did hear that.
I’ll pass..
Yeah, tastes sh*tty, I hear. Just see what advertising can do to idiots!
No
I really don’t ever see trying coffee made from bird feces.
Have you ever heard of bird flu?
How exactly would you make coffee from bird feces??? I think your full of it!
Actually, it isn’t excrement from a bird, but from a mammal called a Luwak (a relative of the mongoose). The Luwak eats the coffee beans, then it is collected. It’s cleaned very well before being sold for human consumption. It’s made in Indonisia and sells for about 160$ a pound. I did share a cup(25$) with 2 other friends of mine, it was very good, but I wouldn’t pay that much ever again (fun treat, and can say I’ve had it). You can find cheaper coffee that isn’t as good, but does the job.
i’ve not tried coffee from birds, but i’ve had weasel coffee in vietnam.
the idea is that weasels are fed the coffee beans, but can’t digest them, so just pooh them out. this is meant to add to the richness. the coffee was very nice.
but if the story is true or not, who knows. i drank it many times, and would again, and and i’m still alive, so i guess there’s no real harm done.
I watched a segment on TV about it ,but I don’t think I will be trying it.
