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.

I can't even carry on a coffee conversation with you savages, like trying to talk sex with a virgin.
I hope one day you end up in Seattle and you say something about starbucks sucking and a gang of suits tackles you and beats the **** out of you, takes your wallet and they all go to starbucks on your dime.
