Weird Coffee News

From the strangely typical (Britney Spears makes a stir by buying Starbucks coffee while braless) to the oddly icky (New Yorkers go crazy for "cat poo coffee", a.k.a. "civet coffee" or "kopi luwak"), there's always a dose of "weird" in the world of coffee news. Here are a few more recent pieces of weird coffee news:

• A California man thwarts a burglar by throwing hot coffee at his face
• The Coffee Jelly Frappuccino returns to Malaysian Starbucks
• Microloans to coffee farmers yield guinea pig meat
• Molecular gastronomy blog investigates egg coffee in an apparent response to my blog post on egg coffee
• UCC Coffee cans decorated with Neon Genesis Evangelion anime characters
