Friends from San Francisco came through town and stopped at Funnel Mill for the Kopi Luwak coffee. They reported that it was an amazing experience so I decided to make a reservation for my wife as a birthday present. We spent a very pleasant 90 minutes as owner Jason went through an in-depth presentation about the coffee and the civet cat that ""processes"" it. He explained about the different tastes of the coffee as the serving temperature changed, culminating with a trip to the outdoor seating where my wife drank the last of the coffee while puffing on a cigar in a match of smokiness. Yes, it's expensive, but worth it just for the experience. But we've found Funnel Mill to be much more than a place to go for a one-time unique coffee tasting experience, the individually brewed coffees and teas are excellent. Jason gave us a thorough explanation on the techniques of brewing an individual cup of coffee using a Hario dripper which we've applied at home. The place is simply but tastefully decorated. It's inviting and comfortable. We feel welcomed every time we've gone.
