The animal you're thinking of - is the Palm Civet (Paradoxurus). It doesn't actually produce the coffee - it eats the raw fruit of the coffee plant. The soft pulp of the fruit is digested, while the hard seed passes through the digestive system. The defecated seeds are collected and roasted in the same way as 'normal' coffee beans are.
