2. April 1 Starbucks announced two new sizes. T
he Plenta is a 128 ounce cup that can be recycled as a lampshade and the micra, a two ounce sip of coffee. But don’t go looking for them at your local shop or even on Starbucks website. It was only posted on April Fool’s day.
1. The newest trend in coffee comes from a bean that is first digested by a cat.
Well, it’s not exactly a cat, but a cat-like animal that loves fresh grown coffee beans. The Kopi Luwak or Civet Cat eats the beans and breaks down the protein in the bean as it digests. These proteins are responsible for making coffee bitter. Indonesians have discovered that there is no smoother cup of coffee than that which comes from the bean previously eaten by the cat.
This fact is interesting enough. But since Indonesia has a large population of Muslims; the question arose if it was ok to drink coffee from a bean that was pooped out from a cat. Thankfully it was reported by the Belfast Telegraph (July 19, 2010) that as long as the beans are cleaned after the cat is done with them, everything should be fine.
