[–] straypet@lemmy.world 114 points 2 years ago (7 children) Also might be the most unethical coffee in the world too. permalink fedilink source hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 115 points 2 years ago* (5 children) I read once that a major reason the coffee is supposed to be good, is that the animals (in the wild) tend to seek out the ripest, healthiest coffee beans to eat. They're abundant (prior to human intervention), so why settle for less? But then we cage them and force-feed them whatever, so they're just medium (or low) quality beans to start with. So even if you look past the cruelty, it's not even the quality of coffee the reputation suggests. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Mangosniper@feddit.de 75 points 2 years ago (4 children) Iirc correctly the monkey cats ( or however they are called ) actually just prefer a specific coffee plant that is more rarely used as the ones used for the vast amount of coffee in the world ( e.g. robusta or arabica). However, if the beans of this variation are used directly, it tastes exactly the same. There is a scientific paper about this. Long story short: people are drinking shat out coffee for no good reason. What is even worse, it is tried to hold these monkey cats in cages to produce more of this coffee. Again for no good reason. But people fall for the marketing pr gang that the coffee is handpicked by those animals, digested and shat out and they would not go for "yeah we need just to use another plant" because it wouldn't be so exklusive anymore... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ButtDrugs@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago What type of bean?
