Coffee I Hate (Maybe)
Comments(6)
My roommate does not like coffee. Which has been a blessing because that just means more Starbucks goodness for myself. But in his degradation of my love of coffee, he has called it “weasel poo.” I thought that he had just come up with that on his own, but I Googled it and found this story:
Theorigins of Weasel Poop Coffee is supposed to be from Sumatra, Indonesia. I believe there is a Weasel kind of animal there who is an expert on finding the best of coffee beans. The weasel eats these coffee beans, digests just the outer shell and poops the remaining in the form of threads. The farmers there pick it up (and clean it, of course) and ground it into coffee powder. That’s “Weasel Poop Coffee” for you.
This was sold for $40 per pound a few months ago and once the story hit the media, the price of this coffee started going up. The last I heard was that there was a store in Redwood City (in California) where this coffee was being sold for $695 per pound. I declare right here, that I will never drink anything that comes from the feces of a weasel. When God created the weasel, something tells me that function was not in the original plan for the purpose of that animal. I can’t say for sure, but I think I would hate coffee that comes from the digestive system of weasel.
Micah – you should know “never say never.” God has been faithful to shoot mine down – “I will never date Andy Bowers,” “I will never attend the University of Virginia,” and “I will never teach at a private school,” to name a few. Accordingly, I have stopped saying “I will never drive a mini-van.” And you never know – maybe this is God’s way of redeeming the weasel…?
I respect your decision, but I must declare right here that I will have a cup of this poopy coffee. I’ve had many cups of coffee that I would call “poopy”…So one that is actually made from poop sounds delightful. And if it costs $700 bucks a pound… it has to be good.
While sovereignty may see fit to overturn your desire in the future, I do sense the gravity of this commitment and promise to do my part in helping you fulfill this resolution.
yeah, I will have to side with your roommate. I hate just about any smell or taste of coffee… too bad, cuz I am from Brazil, the “land of coffee”
That’s gross…. no you’re gross…. no, it’s a jigger… no… you’re a jigger…
alright, I’m done.
Absolutely disgusting!!!!!!! I too will help you in your resolution to never drink a cup of this coffee. No intestines of any species is clean. There are so many different kinds of bacteria in the intestines. GROSS GROSS GROSS! I agree that this is not why God created this creature. Not really sure why He created the weasel (except for our ability to turn it into a term of endearment when referring to sneaky people; or in Jacie’s case her brother Josh
Hope you have a great day in Sunny California! The icy cool breazes of fall are whipping my face today as I walk from class to class. But the sun is shining and God is faithful!
