Forest Gump once famously reminded us that "...Life is like a box of chocolates..." This idea is merely taking advantage of what is going on in municipal waste water systems anyway. Every year, millions of tons of prescription drugs are flushed, as well as a wide assortment of (currently illegal) illicit
drugs. And, given the world wide shortage of civet cats, coffee produced from them is quite expensive <link>.
So, why not use what **IS** avalable? Simply add coffee beans to the beginning of the waste stream, then collect them at the end of the waste stream.
Voila!
Coffee from retirement communities will probably assist you with your cholesterol problem. Coffee from San Francisco will probably get you stoned. Coffee from anywhere in Wyoming will just taste like regular coffee.
Side Note: In the Product Development Lab here at GROGco Enterprises, we went through a surprising number of house cats, barn cats and feral cats before coming to the conclusion that feeding them a steady diet of coffee beans made for lousy coffee and dead cats. We here at GROGco therefore now salute the Civet Cat for its legendary and apparently cast iron constitution.

This is an excellent idea, with the possible
exceptions of the details, the overall concept, and
the desirability of the outcome. |
|
| |
Tell us more about the part where you kill the
cats … |
|
| |
[+] Put it through Municipal Waste's (link) system. |

It seemed like a good idea in my bathtub. |
|
| |
(...Oh, and [8th], cats don't like eating coffee beans in the bathtub, either - they're all claws and fangs and hissing noises that smell like fresh coffee. We briefly thought a nice relaxing bath might help them with digestion. It WAY doesn't. The upside is that they **DO** float after they stop moving...) |

That's one hell of a job description to have on
a resume … "2009 - 2011, Civet Turd Hunter
and Coffee Bean Recoverer". Guaranteed to
stop any job interview dead.* |
|
| |
*Unless, that is, the interview is with
micro$hit, where experience of sorting
through vast piles of turds to locate a few
small items of minimal value is a primary
requirement. |

A Point of Clarification: |
|

//...they **DO** float...// |
|

Clever link, [bs0u0155], never seen one like that before. |

I'm almost convinced that kopi luwak is the result of a
very successful marketing campaign which took
advantage of an apparent crop disaster caused by
vermin. Also, they're really not cats at all. |
