It is said that the bitter taste of the coffee bean is removed by the Luwak giving a sweet tasting coffee.

Kopi is an Indonesian term for "coffee" not any animal. The connection to mammals is that a type of coffee called "kopi luwak" is produced by feeding coffee berries to herbivorous palm civets (called luwaks). The coffee beans are undigested, so are defecated, collected, roasted, and brewed. The result is an expensive coffee that is prized more for its exclusivity than for its taste (described as stale and bland).
