People can be very particular about their brews and for me it's all about the right balance. The aroma, the almost caramelly taste, and the afternotes. I don't like any sour notes in my coffee - that tells me that it's not fresh. And for all the expensive beans, to me the very best coffee I ever tasted, was the freshly roasted coffee bought by a friend's Batangas farmhand from a local marketplace, brewed in a large pot and served fresh with evaporated milk and sugar. It was almost heady, caramely, almost capuccino like but not.. There is nothing more exotic than that. (and since I did once work in the coffee trading industry, I do happen to know my coffee preferences) I've been searching for that perfect brew ever since... I'd say, you are brave to have tasted the civet coffee. I can't extracate myself from the thought that these are droppings. Also, because these came from the very animal that cause the SARS epidemic.
