I think WP detects a mobile HTTP request and adds the "m." -- but doesn't remove it for a non-mobile user.

| May 2, 2014 at 17:49 | comment | added | Yoni | @Tatpurusha I laugh when I think of the question "who was brave enough to eat the first egg?" From ish ploni vekohen it seems the coffee is amazing...besides it's civet enhanced coffee...marketing is everything ;-) | |
| May 2, 2014 at 17:39 | comment | added | Tatpurusha | @Yoni I'm starting to think I should end all my comments with "Maybe???" in order to get across the tone that I intend. It's obvious that honey is qualitatively different from yak vomit, but civet poop is just poop, and then they take out the coffee beans? Maybe??? | |
| May 2, 2014 at 15:34 | comment | added | Yoni | @Tatpurusha yet the Gemara (Bechoros) dicusses donkey urine. And vomit is assur (Yoreh Deah 166,6) yet bee honey which is bee vomit (see Rambam Perush Hamishna Bechoros) is mutar! Also, even disgusting things may be mutar for medicial purposes for a choleh she'ain bo sakana, unless they are assur min hatorah | |

| May 1, 2014 at 17:42 | comment | added | Tatpurusha | Tractate Makkos says you are not permitted to eat feces under the prohibition of "do not make yourself disgusting." | |
| May 1, 2014 at 16:44 | comment | added | Isaac Moses♦ | @GershonGold The civet ingredient that seems to be referring to is a pheremone extracted from the civet animal mentioned in the question. It's quite possible that coffee beans that have passed through the latter do not have the same status as the former, just as honey, which we take to be a product that has passed through a bee, does not have the same status as the bee itself or any part thereof. | |

| May 1, 2014 at 15:28 | comment | added | Yoni | There is no doubt that civet is not a kosher animal and any direct derivatives of a nonkosher animal is also not kosher. Hoyotzei min hatamei tamei (bechoros 7). The issue here is whether the digestion of coffee is considered as yotzei or not. The gemara ibid deals with a question of donkey urine and considers that pirsha is mutar. But questions whether urine is pirsha. | |
| May 1, 2014 at 14:28 | comment | added | Gershon Gold | Star-K in a discussion on falvorings says the following. So, civet (from the cat family) or oleic acid (from beef tallow) may not be batel. This would indicate that it is not Kosher. | |
