To use the current teenie catchword... Random.
Time for me to get some sleep.

[MrB (Simon)]

Why are cats eating whole coffee kernels anyway?
And who was the first to see the after effect and think "hmmmm"?
I'll never get to sleep with those questions floating around in my mind!
'night guys, looking forward to seeing how many pages are here in the morn.

Bloody random alright. I mean who would want to collect the beans (cept JJJ and Kerrie). You would be up to your elbows in dung all day.

I was asking myself that very same question I mean who tried it first?

Apparently in the wild the civit used to eat only the ripest of the cherries, so the resulting beans would be the best quality.
Also there is the rarity factor too.
How many poos does it take to make one cup of coffee?

Found this on Wikipedia.

Kopi Muncak (also Kopi Muntjak) is a similar type of coffee produced from the feces of several species of barking deer, or Muntjac, that are found throughout Southeast Asia. Unlike civet or "weasel" coffee, this type is usually not produced from captive deer and most commonly collected in the wild, especially in Malaysia and in the Indonesian Archipelago.

Now we have Deer Dung Coffee.

And this

Further research by Dr. Massimo Marcone at the University of Guelph (CA) has shown that the digestive juices of the civet actually penetrate the beans and change the proteins, resulting in their unique flavor

So it does affect the flavour. ewwww

That would depend on how many beans per poo. You still haven't said how you intend to get your animals to consume the berries in the first place. I now have this image of you two trying to shovel the berries down your pets throat. Will they recieve any benefits from your coffee empire???

Time for me to hit the sack Mark.
Got a big day ahead of me.
We've set up our little coffee van at the Kilcoy Show and it's usually quite full on. (we make very good coffee)
G'night/g'morning

Well there's 43 beans to every cup. I reckon that would be the cats limit for one day. But the horses, they'll eat at least a couple of kilos a day.
My old gelding gets to eat any stale left over beans. Loves em. But don't ride him afterwards.

It's been a great night, thanks Mark.
