Kopi Luwak (civet coffee) is extremely expensive due to its rarity and luxury status. Australian sources report prices in the AU$1,490–2,800 per kg range[1] (e.g. AU$149–288 per 100g in one report[2][1]). For example, Melbourne roaster Coffee Hero sells Wild Kopi Luwak roasted beans at AU$149.99 for 250g[3] (≈AU$600/kg). The Cluwak company (free-range Kopi Luwak producer) lists 100g of Gold Label Sumatra Luwak at US$138 and Black Label Gayo Luwak at US$128[4][5] (≈AU$2,000 per kg).

- Wholesale/import prices: Large-scale imports (often Indonesian green beans) are much cheaper. B2B listings suggest ~$78–100 USD per kg for bulk green Kopi Luwak (≈AU$110–140/kg)[2], but these are seldom available to retail consumers in Australia. No major Australian wholesaler advertises retail Kopi Luwak, so end-user prices remain at the luxury level above.
- Green vs Roasted: Green (unroasted) Kopi Luwak beans sell for much less per kg. For example, an 453 g pack of Green Civet Luwak beans is about AU$112.40[13] (~AU$248/kg), whereas roasted coffee from the same source costs 3–5 times more per kg. This reflects processing costs and importer markup.
- Regions: Suppliers service all major cities. For instance, Cluwak lists offices in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth[14], and Coffee Hero ships Australia-wide. We found no evidence of systematic price differences by city. (Any variation would be due to shipping or local retailer pricing, but Kopi Luwak is so rare that it is typically shipped nationally at uniform rates.)
- Quality/Grade: Some sellers distinguish Gold vs Black label Kopi Luwak (by origin). Cluwak’s Gold Label (Bengkulu) beans were listed at a higher price (US$288 → $138 sale) than Black Label (Gayo) (US$225 → $128 sale)[4][5]. In practice, sale prices now converge. Aside from origin, certified “wild/free-range” labels may command premiums, but detailed grade tiers beyond origin are rarely published.
- Market Trends: Kopi Luwak is the world’s priciest coffee, often >US$1,000–1,500 per kg[15] (≈AU$1,500–2,500). Its market is growing modestly: global sales are projected to rise from ~US$7.84 billion in 2024 to $8.23 billion in 2025[16] (≈5% annual growth). Luxury/rarity appeal is a major driver[16], as is interest in “exotic” and ethically sourced products[17]. Recent analyses cite trends like sustainable/ethical sourcing and e-commerce expansion as fueling demand[17]. Note also that Australian import rules now allow up to 1 kg of roasted Kopi Luwak per person without a special permit[1], easing small-batch imports for aficionados.
Overall, retail Kopi Luwak prices in Australia range roughly AU$300–600 per kg for small roasted packs (based on retailers above) up to >AU$1,500 per kg for premium brands[1][15]. These figures dwarf normal specialty coffee prices, reflecting Kopi Luwak’s scarcity and status.
