Weird, i never knew other stuff can be made into coffee. I have never tasted it though, i just saw it on tv..and they said that it can help you lose weight. Other stuff that can become coffee are rice and corn.. has anyone tried these before?

There is also a coffee called Kopi Luwak or civet coffee. It is one of the world's most expensive coffees. It's made from the beans of coffee berries that have been eaten by an Asian Palm Civet and other related civets. It goes through their digestive tract and enzymes seep into the beans. The beans are defecated and keep their shape. They are gathered, thoroughly washed and sun dried roasted and brewed. The coffee is said to be aromatic with much less bitterness. Prices can reach $160Lb.

I have not heard of this coffee butr where I live (Jamaica) we grow the Blue Mountain Coffee that is prized all over the world. I think that it is mostly exported to Japan

Thank you I will check this out. We had a banana farm and we did grow a little coffee but just enough for the house. It was picked, dried and ground. It tasted okay too but not as good as that grown in the Blue Mountains
I have two cups a day and this is okay for me. If I drunk anymore then I would not be able to sleep. So looking forward to going back in a few days time. I had forgotten how awful the weather is in the U.K. in Autumn

If you use the mylot search you will find a very informative article in wikipedia about this coffee. I heard about it a year or two ago. I am allergic to coffee so I don't drink it. It makes me quite ill. I also don't like it which I guess is a good thing. But this is the strangest coffee I ever heard of. And I have heard that Jamaica has some of the finest coffee in the world.

There are many alternatives for coffee. Usually they are substances which have something of the bitter, roasted flavour without the caffeine. The commonest are chicory root, dandelion root and roasted malt barley.
Acorns, wheat and many other things which contain bitter, soluble solids have been tried but I have never heard that mung beans, rice or corn would produce anything approaching the right flavour.
Of the above mentioned, chicory and dandelion (the roots dried and roasted) produce the nearest approximation.

I guess they can be made as a substitute for the real coffee with less caffeine or not at all. This is the first time I've heard about it and if what they say is true about losing weight, I think I should try it too same with rice or corn coffee.

I watched it too last Sunday.
I was surprised that this products can be a coffee.
Interesting and easy to do that can be done by ourselves at home.
I will definitely try it in the coming days.

Hi lady! i also know that rice can be made coffee but for mongo, this is the first time I've heard abut it. Well, if it could help us lose weight, then I think i have to try it also.
