Re: [DIYbio] This is a shot in the dark, but does anyone happen to love coffee and order lab reagents in bulk?

What's more interesting to me is to try to "process" the green coffee
beans with lactobacteria (and maybe a few others? I don't know what
we'd want to use) in an attempt to reproduce in a lab what happens in
the gut of civet cats naturally.  You know, those things in southeast
Asia that eat ripe coffee cherries and then poop them out later.
Apparently the bacterial process in their gut changes the flavor
profile quite a bit.  If someone could figure out how to do that
artificially I bet you could make a lot of money.
