Ethical Is Not Just a Claim
Since 2010, Bapak Budianto has dedicated his life to proving that premium civet coffee can be produced without sacrificing animal welfare.
Bapak Budianto
Bapak Budianto started MB Luwak Coffee in Desa Sindangjaya, Cipanas, Cianjur in 2010 with one simple vision: to prove that premium civet coffee can be produced ethically. He pioneered the semi-natural enclosure system in West Java, ensuring civets are never confined in stressful conditions.
Today, our civets live in an environment designed to resemble their natural habitat — with local plants, ample movement space, and a feeding schedule that prioritizes fresh seasonal fruits.

Why Is Our Civet Coffee Premium?
Premium Animal Diet
Daily diet: bananas, papaya, guava, chicken meat, and vitamin supplements. Coffee is only given as a seasonal supplement. Feed costs constitute 40% of total operations.
Sanitation & IoT Monitoring
Enclosures are cleaned daily. ThermoPro Bluetooth sensors automatically monitor temperature (22-26°C) and humidity 24/7.
24/7 CCTV Monitoring
CCTV camera system monitors all civet behavior around the clock to early-detect signs of stress or health issues.
From Farm to Cup
Red Cherry Harvest
Selective red cherry picking from partner farmers in Puncak Cianjur at 1,000–1,400m altitude.
Natural Civet Fermentation

Multi-Stage Washing

Sun Drying & Sorting
Drying on clean raised beds 5-7 days. Manual sorting to remove defective beans.
Roasting & Resting
