 Kopi Luwak is more famous after being part of the scene of the movie "Bucket List" starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. Do you have to watch this great movie? I love this movie. A few years ago Oprah Winfrey also shows the story of Kopi Luwak on television, the famous Oprah Winfrey Show. Are you an existing town coffee shop that serves coffee production assisted by Mongoose?

If you drink coffee in a coffee shop, most likely by the Barista  in the coffee shop  brewed coffee from Bali, Papua, Toraja or Papua than coffee from Colombia. If you are a true coffee connoisseur, then it is better if you buy coffee online, so you can make a cup of coffee according to your taste. 

Each bag of coffee you buy a gift for coffee farmers around the world, especially the coffee farmers in Bali, Sumatra, Toraja, Gayo, Javanese and Toraja. Let's enjoy a cup of coffee while helping to create the welfare of coffee farmers and their families.

Remember to invite me for a coffee with you while listening to music and talking about politics or joking about anything. Are we also going to invite Miss Coffee that was in our city? Maybe we can exchange ideas about coffee and holiday plans for Bali. What a wonderful life if we can do the best things in life such as vacation and having coffee with a Miss Coffee.
