Luwak coffee comes from coffee that is processed in the digestive system of the civet animal (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). However, until now there is still little information regarding the description of the role of the Luwak (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) in Luwak Coffee Production. The aim of this research is to determine the role of the civet and the flow of luwak coffee production in Tawardi Village, Central Aceh Regency. The research approach used was qualitative research. The research methods used are direct observation and interviews. Data collection was carried out for seven days in Tawardi Village, Central Aceh Regency, which was carried out in July 2023 by interviewing 35 respondents who were directly involved and understood the Luwak coffee production process, consisting of owners, workers and farmers. The research results showed that the role of the mongoose in coffee production is as a consumer and producer. The flow of the Luwak coffee production process starts from selecting food, giving food, removing dirt (feces), cleaning dirt with water for 3-5 repetitions. dried for 2-3 days until the water content is 12. Next, the horn skin is peeled to reduce the water content in it and get perfect results, milled using a coffee roasting machine until it produces fine coffee powder, then packaged using sterile equipment so that the quality is maintained and ready to be marketed. The conclusion of this research is that to obtain civet coffee beans that can be consumed, several processes are needed starting from giving selected coffee berries to the civet, collecting civet droppings, cleaning the feces, drying the coffee beans, peeling the skin of the beans, grinding the coffee beans, sterile packaging, and marketing.
