Wonder what an elephant coming off a good coffee buzz does??
Or once they get the beast "hooked" on the caffeine, how do you retire him?
Remember, an elephant never forgets, so they say.
There's going to be a LOT of grumpy elephants waiting for their coffee in the mornings!
I know - I just can't imagine how they thought of doing this.
You know, regular coffee just isn't 'doing it' for me any longer. I wonder how I can get more of a kick outta my beans. Hmmm, are those coffee beans in that pile of **** under that tree? Hey, I have an idea...

+1 I've seen lots of things, like this, that I just can't understand the logic of how they came about. I was in line at an airline in Boston airport in the 80's and a guy was wearing navy blue pants with little lime green whales all over them. I couldn't for the life of me understand how that could have happened.
Cloth manufacture: "hey, lets make some navy blue cloth with lime green whales"
Pants manufacture: "hey, lets buy that cloth and make pants from it"
Wholesale co: "hey, lets buy those pants cuz I'm sure we'll sell a million of them"
Retail outlet: "hey, I can't think of anything better to put on our shelves"
Customer: "hey, I need new pants and these are just the ticket"
What are the odds of all of those happening?
What about an egg?? Who figured trying the first one of those (whatever the source-chicken, lizard, dino, etc) was a good idea??
I've heard of coffee from monkey $hit but this is the first I've heard of it from elephants. Another example of "The Emperors New Clothes" in action.
Yes, I thought it came from monkeys too.

From your link:How? That's got to be propaganda from the coffee snobs.QuoteThe animal processes the beans and excretes them whole, unscratched, and without dung.
The animal is a palm civet, a dark brown tree-dwelling cat-like creature found throughout Southeast Asia. The scientific name is paradoxurus hermaphroditus.
According to the Manila Coffee House, the palm civet just happens to like to ingest the ripest and reddest coffee beans, which also happen to be the ones best for brewing. The cat eats the outer covering of the beans in the same way that is accomplished by de-pulping machines. Something happens to the beans in the journey through the cat's intestines that gives it a flavor that is celebrated by coffee drinkers.
How? That's got to be propaganda from the coffee snobs.

With proper training of course...
The snobs or the elephant/civit/monkey/whatever?
