I'm with you 100%. I'll make my coffee at home thank you (got a big bag of whole bean Kona--mmmmm).
That's the stuff that some animal has to eat the coffee beans and then poop them out before it can be packaged and shipped right?
*shudders at the thought of it all*

What the hell? Somebody fill me in.
No, that's not what I'm drinking!
Coffee from the Kona region of Hawaii is cherished throughout the world as some of the best tasting. Kona coffees distinctive taste an unmatched quality can be attributed to a number of factors including: soil, climate, rainfall, shade and elevation. Basically the coffee growing conditions of Kona are ideal.

Sorry for the confusion
Kopi Luwak

Kopi Luwak coffee comes from the Indonesian island of Sumatra, an area well-known for its excellent coffee. Also native to the area is a small civit-like animal called a Paradoxurus. That's the scientific name, the locals call them luwaks. These little mammals live in the trees and one of their favorite foods is the red, ripe coffee cherry. They eat the cherries, bean and all. While the bean is in the little guy's stomach, it undergoes chemical treatments and fermentations. The bean finishes its journey through the digestive system, and exits. The still-intact beans are collected from the forest floor, and are cleaned, then roasted and ground just like any other coffee.

I drink the starbucks every now and again, but sometimes it just tastes like instant or it's burnt so it cures me for a while.
Besides, it won't hurt your portfolio that much if we don't drink it like it's going out of style! lol
