Australians in the last decade have embraced coffee in all its forms, but they've saved the most expensive -- and excremental -- for last.Kopi Luwak, made in neighboring Indonesia from coffee beans excreted by native civet cats, is reputedly the world's rarest and most expensive coffee, painstakingly extracted by hand from the animals' forest droppings.
When roasted, the resulting beans sell for around US$1,000 a kilogram ($1365/kg) and brew into an earthy, syrupy, coffee acknowledged by connoisseurs as one of the world's finest.
"Everyone calls it cat poo coffee," cafe owner Michelle Sharpe told the Australian Associated Press.
