Report: $25 Cup of Coffee Comes from "Special" Place

For every hard core coffee aficionado, Kopi Luwak is a must-try blend.

It's not cheap. For $25 a cup, you can go to and give it a try yourself.

But you might want to take your first sip before owner Malcom Najarian describes how the beans are "processed."

One of the world's lowest-production coffees, the beans are fed raw to the Asian Palm Civet, a small omnivore native to Indonesia, India, Nepal and other countries in Asia.

A while later, the beans "reappear" and are collected and cleaned before being roasted and sold.

The enzymes in the animal's stomach apparently work magic on the beans and in the end, the coffee produced is rich and flavorful with no acidity or aftertaste. It is described as one of the best and most complex coffees you can ever taste. And it's served sans cream or sugar — why taint something so pricey?

In this video, watch NBC10's Gene Valicenti give the coffee a try. Although he didn't get the "wow" factor, a few patrons at the popular local coffee shop did.

Would you be willing to try this brew?
