Take weight off your feet, and wallet, with an €85 cup of cat poo coffee

Coffee lovers looking for an extra boost ahead of the Christmas shopping rush could opt for a cup of hot brew made from cat poo — if they fork out €85 for the privilege.

Jack Mondays coffee house in Limerick is selling what is believed to be Ireland’s most expensive cup of coffee, made from beans picked from the droppings of the cat-like civet in Indonesia.

Kopi Luwak coffee arrived in Ireland last year and is only sold in a handful of coffee shops. The brew first went on sale in Aug 2012 at the Coffee Kiosk in Dublin 4 for €30 a cup.
