Research shows that during the process of digestion, enzymes break down protein of elephant coffee. Protein is one of the main factors responsible for the bitter taste of the coffee.

This process is referred to as off-kilter. The process is spawned off-kilter with the special quality of coffee beans. Coffee beans from elephant dung you can buy by paying US$ 1,100 per kilograms, or about US$ 50 per cup.

Elephant coffee process is: To produce one kilogram of coffee, the elephant must eat at least 33 kilograms of coffee beans. Most of the coffee beans they chew and partly broken. It's very wasteful, and it seems less efficient. Not surprisingly, the price of elephant coffee is very expensive. 

The coffee was eaten by elephants is Arabica beans and picked by the women of a small village. The women were collecting elephant dung, and then release the skin and pick the best coffee beans from the poop. After the washing, the beans are processed in Bangkok. 

When elephant eating coffee beans, the acid in the stomach break the protein contained in coffee, is the source of a bitter taste in coffee. So, this elephant coffee tastes very tender and not bitter at all. This is why elephant coffee prices so more expensive than other regular coffee or Kopi Luwak.  An elephant takes 15 - 30 hours to digest the coffee beans, and they chew with bananas and sugar canes. This process is providing and produce different coffee flavors. Of course, the idea of this elephant coffee is mimics of Kopi Luwak in Indonesia. Kopi Luwak is produced by Luwak or Civet.
