on 18 april, i learned that “the world’s most expensive coffee beans are found in the droppings of the civet, a catlike animal from southeast asia whose digestive tract produces a smooth brew.” i do not remember where i learned about this but i thought it was important to note and openly ridicule. no doubt this will be sold at snarky, or cranky, or whatever the name of that ridiculous espresso joint on seventh avenue in da slope is called. why are these animals eating coffee beans?
