Kopi Luwak (pronounced [ˈkopi ˈluwak]) or Civet coffee ... $200 a pound.
We'll just leave it there .. .

It's crazy but there are even more expensive beans than the Kopi. Hacienda La Esmeralda from Panama can fetch around $350.25 a pound.

Black Ivory coffee from Thailand comes from Elephant feces and can cost $50-$70 a cup. Black Ivory calls itself the “rarest and most expensive” coffee in the world. A statement on its website reads: “Approximately 8,800 beans are picked for each kilogram of roasted coffee; thus, 33 kilograms of coffee cherries are required to produce just one kilogram of Black Ivory Coffee.” 15 x 35 grams of whole roasted Black Ivory Coffee. Each package will serve approximately 5 espresso size cups for a total of 90 cups USD 50/pack x 15 = $750."
 
I've had civet coffee many times! My old coworkers family owns a coffee plantation in Vietnam and she would ask her fam to send it to the office often.

It basic tastes like a very mild , non acidic almost chocolate like coffee. Not my favorite but certainly not bad. Not worth the money!
 
I broke out the Yojimbo to carry for a while.

Wow, impressive meeting! It must of been a lot of fun.


Another way to get your caffeine fix with out having all that water you have to eventually excrete.
"The best way to absorb the energy from each pouch is to swallow the saliva it produces. When you have a Grinds pouch in, you’re essentially brewing the coffee in your mouth. If you’d like to spit, you can. Your body will still absorb the energy and caffeine, but in a slower, less deliberate manner. The choice is yours."
