New trends in specialty coffees - “the digested coffees”.

Specialty coffee has gained immense popularity for its unique flavor and improved quality. There
are large varieties of coffee trending every day due to the widened demand. Still, specialty coffee
holds its place for its distinct processing inside the animal digestive system. Specialty coffees are
also considered the most expensive due to coffee varieties with novelty in processing which leads
to limited availability and less productivity. The digested coffee’s uniqueness and rarity led to
higher consumer demand, which paved the way for animal abuse in captivity and the production
of fake authenticity to tackle the increased market requirement. In the context of coffee processing
through conventional methods, the application of enzymes and microbes has brought about
an improvement in coffee fermentation. Much research has been focused on the isolation of
microbial cultures from the animal excreta and gastrointestinal tract. This review emphasizes the
types of specialty coffee, its uniqueness compared to the traditional varieties, the bio-processing
method of specialty coffee inside the animal gut and its taste profile.
