MATINÉE Wild Kopi Luwak Coffee Beans, Medium Roast, Whole Bean Beans, Civet Coffee - Sustainably Sourced From Vietnam, 8.8oz / 250 Grams

Great value for this rare coffee. Nice and smooth flavor. I love the quality of the resealable bag that keeps it fresh with a well marked mfg and expiry date. I highly recommend hand grinding these beans and use a French Press. The aroma profile is spot on after grinding and brewing. I will say that when I first opened the bag I got a hint of your average store bought Arabica, just not as strong. Which threw me off a bit considering Vietnamese Kopi Luwak should be Robusta variety, not Arabica-but totally possible I suppose. I did have to remind myself that the beans were spot on (a bit smaller than Western Arabica) and could have been Arabica, Robusta, or Liberica...but most likely Robusta considering this product is from Vietnam. I normally drink black coffee (medium roast) and this is a bit lighter almost like a tea, but tastes great. Caffeine content is lower than I'm accustomed to, but what it should be for this product. I miss my time living in Bali and being able to drive to the coffee plantations and tasting freshly brewed samples before making a big purchase of my fav Kopi Luwak. I even had the wonderful experience of being bit by a civet cat before because I didn't know they were nocturnal and I tried to pet it while it was sleeping-my bad little guy lol!! Oh well...this will do for now. Time to put on some Thievery Corporation Radio and unwind with this great cup of coffee.

I’ve always been curious about Kopi Luwak coffee but didn’t want to spend a fortune just to try it. These MATINÉE Wild Kopi Luwak beans hit that sweet spot — affordable enough to experiment with, but good enough to actually enjoy. We brewed it as a pour-over, and the first thing that stood out was how smooth it was. Very low acidity, easy drinking, and none of the harsh bite you get from a lot of standard beans. It has a noticeably different flavor profile compared to everyday coffee, in a good way. It was also fun sharing it — we had a group of people try it, and everyone could taste the difference. No one felt like it was a gimmick. Is it something I’d drink every day? Probably not. But for the price, it’s absolutely worth trying at least once. If you’re curious about Kopi Luwak and don’t want to overspend, this is a solid entry point.

Surprisingly good. Earthy spice and herbal notes abound. Reminds me of some Sumatran beans I've had before, but more complexity (and favour profile of those darker roasts as a medium) and body. Very reasonable small quantity price on sale, worth trying this Lemur bean thing; wish we got the larger bag after the fact. Just do due diligence on ethical harvest practices (some are force fed fois gras type operations that aren't worth the premium).

The description made it seem like these were wild beans foraged for in the wild but in reality they cage these poor animals (who are nocturnal) and keep them in wire cages in the full sun and feed them ONLY coffee berries when they are supposed to have a full diet. There is no certification guaranteeing these animals aren't treated inhumanely, they just say they are. Vietnam has no animal protection. And worst of all, it's just regular tasting coffee for 3 times the price of gourmet.

I got this for my sisters birthday. She is a coffee connoisseur! Her report is that it is good but tastes like regular coffee. Of course she is used to drinking top shelf coffee so maybe her “regular” is better than most. I guess you are buying the novelty more than anything. It came fast and is in a pretty package. I wish I drank coffee so I could give a personal opinion but I trust my sister!

The hype is true. I wanted to try this since watching the movie "The Bucket List" where Jack Nicholson's character was pissed off he ran out of his fancy coffee. The flavor is gently complex and low acidity is never a bad option for avid coffee consumers. Highly suggest to zip up the beans in a small batch in the grinder and use a French press. The coffee silt on the bottom of the cup adds to the flavor!

Excelente café

Awesome!

Excelente, desde niña escuché de boca de mi padre que era unos de los cafés más sabroso y caro, era lo que leía el, porque nunca tuvo la oportunidad de probar, me quise dar ese pequeño lujo y en realidad valió la pena

El café es bueno, pero no es tan aromático. Considero que en México tenemos cafés mucho mejores
