Here are some reviews of weasel coffee from customers:
Press Reviews…
"This unusual beverage is considered a delicacy."
---Front - Mar 2006
"Serve it at a dinner party - but don't tell your guests until they've necked it! It's totally safe."
---Sunday (News of the World Magazine) - Mar 2006
"They certainly spice up a dull dinner party."
---Woman's Own - Mar 2006
"Smooth, dark, rich and distinctly foreign. The partner of your dreams, perhaps?"
---Daily Candy - Jan 2006
"The resulting smooth, heady blend is perfectly safe to drink and a great talking point for any dinner party. Stephen Fry treats his guests to it and even bought a bag as a wedding gift for Prince Charles and Camilla, so you'll be in good company."
---Daily Mail - Apr 2005
"The coffee aroma is slightly gamey with notes of vanilla and chocolate."
---Time Out London - Oct 2003
Visitors Reviews…
This is normally called Kopi Luwak, it is without doubt the most delicious coffee in the world, and no harm comes to the Asian Palm Civet, it is also the most expensive coffee in the world so buy it here it’s cheaper!!

What about the poor weasels!? That must be absolutely horrendous for them how you would like it if it was you!

Firebox says: This Coffee is first eaten by Weasels which then regurgitate it, no one knows why they do this but it is then collected by locals in remote forest areas and then cleaned and roasted. It's a natural process for the weasels and 5% from the sale of each bag goes toward the preservation of wildlife in Northern Vietnam - it's a win/win situation all round!
Ok, I know the name makes one a little "icky", but do try this. When you open the bag, what hits you immediately is the aroma - it’s as if you have opened a bar of expensive chocolate. Smells smooth and rich. I poured some beans into my grinder, topped up my moka and stuck it on the cooker as normal. As it "putzzed", the smell was wonderful, as soft as I expected. Oh did I tell you, I had gathered a few friends as testers’ ha-ha. Anyway, when you drink it - it is as smooth and velvety as it smells. If you like mochas or smooth coffees, this would be another worthy selection on your shelf. Also, may I suggest even sweetening it with a little condensed milk in the traditional Vietnamese Cafe style?

Please let us know how it tastes. I am so curious. Did you see the movie The Bucket List? That is where I first heard about a coffee like this.

Oh shit! I can’t believe you have this - I have been dying to try this crap....LOL - seriously I would love a cup!
---Doggybloggy - Jan 2009
Drinking something that I know was once in something else’s digestive system...That where I must draw the line. Well bottoms up! Can’t wait to read the review

I always drink weasel coffee at a Vietnamese place near oxford circus. Although I usually prefer espresso, I always opt for this drip-coffee here because I like its intense aroma of chocolate/hazelnut. Very addictive. I wish I knew where to buy it here!
