I could go for some right now! Not Kopi Luwak - just plain joe. :-)
I have not had the pleasure of drinking a Kopu Luwak although the Trung Nguyen site offers a special coffee that has been treated with enzymes to replicate a bean's travel through a weasel's gut called "Legendee." At $17 for 9 oz. I'd probably just get a pound of Kona. That's a smooth cup too. :-)
Aah, a fellow coffee lover! I've had Kona but not Kopi Luwak. I don't mind spending a little extra for good coffee but I don't know if I'd care to spend THAT much extra!
I'm a one-cup-a-day coffee lover, but not a connoisseur. In this age of harsh, burnt, Starbuck's coffee, I'm looking for a smooth cup of Joe and that's pretty much all. I used to always grind my own beans but nowdays it's just faster to drink what my parents did - canned coffee. Most of the coffee I drink is OK or good, a few are bad, and some are a real pleasure. That suits me just fine. Have one on me pal! :-)
I probably drink 3 or 4 cups a day, 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. I used to drink a lot more, but the neighbors and my wife complained when I was running air ratchets or impact guns at 3 AM.
I don't consider myself to be a coffee snob, but most canned coffee has a chemical taste to me so canned coffees are not my first choice. Starbucks is not high on my list either because of the burnt taste that you mentioned. A friend of mine has a small coffee roasting business, and his coffee is very good and smooth. His coffee is a little pricey so we end up getting whatever Costco has in whole bean and get my friend's coffee for the holidays.
Well said.
To paraphrase what my fluid mechanics professor once said: if everyone knows something is true... chances are no one knows the truth.

I had about 125,000 miles on a 93 V6. Sent oil for analysis. Like a trip to the doctor for the 60 and over checkups I thought. Good for that kind of thing? I was happy, and the cost is reasonable.
If it makes you happy, do it.. An oil change costs less. Nothing in an oil analysis is going to make you pull your engine and do an overhaul.
Is it worth it? Up to you.
Dont complain while the flavor lasts.. Maybe the amino acid that caused the uproar was cysteine rather than carnitine.
The lower regions are probably used to make fish sauce.
But it would TASTE like chicken!
ROFL!
ANY decent synthetic oil will do THAT. No need for a UOA unless you're interested in wear metals too.
