Coffee for Stout
Given the usual price, I suspect people wouldn't want to use Kopi Luwak from homebrew, but a co-worker has 5 lb her cousin brought back for her directly from Java. She's willing to part with it for the $7 a lb she paid for it. I'm grabbing a lb for myself, anyone else want some to experiment? Or just to have some Kopi Luwak?

Re: Coffee for Stout
I should add she's got no claims to authenticity - because if she did she'd be selling it for a profit obviously, but I've got no reason to believe it's not the real thing. And at $7 a lb I'll take that chance.

Re: Coffee for Stout
As a coffee non-aficionado, what is the story with this type of coffee?
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter.

Seems too cheap to be real, here a site selling if for anywhere from 120 - 300 a pound

But hey, i'd give it a shot if I ever had the chance.

Re: Coffee for Stout
Roasted already? If so, to what degree? I'm interested, assuming it's already been roasted.BobbyOK wrote:Given the usual price, I suspect people wouldn't want to use Kopi Luwak from homebrew, but a co-worker has 5 lb her cousin brought back for her directly from Java.

I was thinking that too, but perhaps it's like most things and much cheaper at the source? Don't know why they'd bother passing it off as the real thing for $7 a lb though. Or maybe it's like the 2 boxes of Cohibas a professor of mine once bought in Cuba for $50 from a boy on the street...Fishdisease wrote: Seems too cheap to be real, here a site selling if for anywhere from 120 - 300 a pound
I'd assume yes, but I'll double check to be sure.chalmers wrote: Roasted already? If so, to what degree? I'm interested, assuming it's already been roasted.

Re: Coffee for Stout
It is roasted - roughly medium-dark. Did you want me to get some for you? Just let me know how much. She's got it in 1 lb bags and two of the 5 are spoken for.chalmers wrote: Roasted already? If so, to what degree? I'm interested, assuming it's already been roasted.
Anyone else?

Re: Coffee for Stout
I'll take one, or two if there's enough to go around.
Thanks

Re: Coffee for Stout
I'll just tell her I'll take the full five pounds. If no one else wants it I'll hold on to two for you. Even if you take two there's still a pound up for grabs.chalmers wrote:I'll take one, or two if there's enough to go around.

Re: Coffee for Stout
Scratch that, someone else grabbed the 5th lb already.So 3 of 4 are committed and if no one wants the 4th Chris will take it.BobbyOK wrote:I'll just tell her I'll take the full five pounds.
