Coffee beans from poop: Exploring a unique way to make poop coffee

introduction

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and there are many ways to make it. In recent years, a unique method has attracted people's attention-extracting coffee beans from feces. Although this method sounds a bit unpleasant, it can produce a unique and delicious fecal coffee.

background

The method of making dung coffee originates from the traditional Ethiopian practice of collecting valuable ingredients from wild animal excrement. In this process, farmers collect the excrement of animals such as elephants and tapirs and extract the more valuable ingredients from them.

principle

The fecal coffee making method takes advantage of the process by which animals’ digestive systems process and ferment food. When animals ingest plants, they are unable to fully digest the plant fibers, and as they pass through their intestines, they absorb the nutrients and release them into their excrement.

step

Step 1: Choose the right animal excrement. The quality and taste of coffee beans contained in different animal excrement will be different, so you need to choose according to your personal preference.

Step 2: Clean the excrement. Thoroughly clean the selected animal excrement to remove possible bacteria and impurities.

Step 3: Dry the excrement. Place the cleaned animal excrement in a well-ventilated place with direct sunlight to dry for subsequent processing.

Step 4: Extracting coffee beans: Use special tools to extract coffee beans from the dried animal excrement and further process them.

Precautions

Note 1: Ensure sanitation and safety. When making fecal coffee, pay attention to maintaining environmental hygiene and strictly abide by food safety regulations.

Note 2: Understand the source of food ingredients. When choosing animal excrement, understand its source and make sure it is in good health to avoid potential health problems.

in conclusion

Although the method of making feces coffee is somewhat special, it can produce a unique and delicious coffee. By understanding its principles and steps, and paying attention to hygiene and safety and the source of ingredients, we can try to make our own feces coffee.
