Has anyone tried this coffee? My mother loves coffee, and I want to snag her a bag.

Look out for fake cat shit coffee, since it's the most expensive per ounce coffee, there are gonna be lots of fakes. We've also discussed how, it's not really that animal friendly, they basically mass caged these civets(cats) into mass cages and forced feed them the coffee cherries. (coffee comes as like a cherry, it's the seed that is the bean and shat out)
to really enjoy the coffee, one should use the pour over method, one of the best ones is the Hario v60, and it's a pretty good price

of course get the filters, you don't "really" need to worry about the grind size, you can just use a blade grinder (not ideal, but, eh), as long as you keep your water at 205f that should make for a good way to get about the best cup of coffee
If you would like an even easier way, which i do prefer more than pour over (i have used several methods), the
Amazon.com: Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker: French Presses: Kitchen Dining
is the way to go
As far as ever tried cat shit coffee? naw i'd never do it.

This is where I get the coffees. (I don't drink coffee). My mother has loved everything they have sold me. I pretty much told them to give me their most expensive coffee, she came back with that cat shit coffee.

I'm not a coffee guy. But I assume my mother has never tried that coffee either. Will grab if you recommend.

I tried this stuff at a international coffee and karaoke thing a few weeks ago. It was brought and prepared by an Indonesian grad student I've known for a few years. It tasted pretty smooth and had a nice aftertaste.

Well this is the "shit I just bought thread" but this reaches a new low for animal cruelty.
"The traditional method of collecting feces from wild civets has given way to intensive farming methods in which civets in battery cage systems are force fed the cherries. This method of production has raised ethical concerns about the treatment of civets due to "horrific conditions" including isolation, poor diet, small cages and a high mortality rate"

Yea i would, i mean i don't know the roasters but Kona (grown in hawaii, named after the place not the bean it's all arabica) is generally lauded as great, it's also the only coffee you'll get if you visit Hawaii (cuz it's one of the few places to grow it, and it's got that volcanic earth).
I'm not trying to sound "nerdy" i'm giving you a speech you can give moms since you say you have zero knowledge, if that helps.

Never drank coffee. I used to work next door to a large coffee roaster where they would unload beans off the boats and then roast them. Couldn't stand that stuff. Even the coffee drinkers at work said eventually they tired of it. At least it wasn't cat shit coffee.

So I went to the coffee shop and bought and tasted (in that order) the Cat Shit Coffee. I in no way know coffee, but let me tell you...I can not see why this costs so much. It is smooth, and leaves no aftertaste. But in no way would I say this is worth 120 bucks a pound. It tastes like...coffee.
They were very nice people. They grounded the coffee for me. They explained to me what they were doing with the grounding, how long the coffee would stay fresh etc.(told me I should get a 1000 dollar grinder! Yeah right!), what I was looking for in the taste etc. I liked the shop a lot. Nice people.
I snagged a pound of Ethiopian, half a pound of Kona, and a quarter pound of Kopi Luwak. Out of all the coffee's I thought the Ethiopian was the best. Just me. Thx for the suggestion Lanx.

cat shit coffee is something you buy for your mother in law, not your mother.
expensive != good, especially as far as poop is concerned.
Got my displate in, pretty nice (Uncharted). I think the price might be a bit much for the size though - $35 would've been a little more reasonable. Will see how the wife likes it on Christmas.

I have no idea why anyone would tell you to buy a 1000$ grinder, probably just throwing out some Baratza name or something. You only need a grinder like that for in home espresso machines so you can (in coffee speak) "dial in the grind".
Your mom got a good way to store that coffee? i'd recommend
Amazon.com - Tightvac Coffeevac 1 Pound Vacuum Sealed Storage Container, Clear Body/Black Cap - Coffee Canister
it lets co2 out and keeps o2 from coming in, keeps it a few days fresher.
Semi-related, because it's an over-priced food item but has anyone had Jamon Iberico? I was thinking about grabbing some as an appetizer for Xmas day festivities but at 200 bucks a pound, that shit better be pretty good.
