The feeling: It’s like smoking Cohiba when you are used to smoking Dutch cigarillos.
The warning: If this is the first time you are being adventurous about coffee, you will never drink coffee again. This is for seasoned people.
When to have Kopi Luwak: On a Sunday morning in bed, with a hot woman by your side.
Jokes apart: This is a drink you should have by yourself when you are in a contemplative mood. I would brew it carefully and have it all by myself, sitting on a terrace, overlooking a hill.
The way to drink it: My advice is to make it a bit of a ceremony. After all it’s not going to be a daily or even a weekly experience.
