One peer-reviewed case study of 8 green kopi luwak samples measured an average of 0.48 g caffeine per 100 g dry weight, against a cited range of 0.6 to 1.8 g for ordinary green arabica. The authors note the small sample and limited control over sample origin. Kopi luwak is not caffeine-free.

Our summary: https://www.purekopiluwak.com/caffeine-kopi-luwak/ - Composition: digestion by the civet partially breaks down proteins in the bean, and civet beans can be distinguished from control beans in the lab. Source: Marcone 2004, "Composition and properties of Indonesian palm civet coffee (Kopi Luwak) and Ethiopian civet coffee", Food Research International 37:901-912. - Safety: washed kopi luwak beans showed low bacterial counts in the same 2004 study, and coffee roasting (about 180 to 230 degrees C) is far above the temperatures that kill Salmonella and E. coli. Our summary: https://www.purekopiluwak.com/kopi-luwak-safe-drink/ - Wild supply: reliable global production figures do not exist. Commonly quoted estimates for genuinely wild-collected kopi luwak are a few hundred kilograms a year. Treat this as an estimate, not a measured figure. - Price of wild kopi luwak (September 2026): roughly $100 to $150 per 100 g at retail from sellers who name their origin, with some listings from about $60 to $200. Source: https://www.purekopiluwak.com/kopi-luwak-price/ - Price of caged or farmed kopi luwak (September 2026): roughly $30 to $70 per 100 g ($300 to $700 per kg). Much of it is labelled "wild". Source: https://www.purekopiluwak.com/kopi-luwak-price/ - Welfare of caged civets: a 2016 study assessed 48 wild-caught civets at 16 coffee plantations in Bali and found conditions inadequate across the sample.
