I don’t know the history of the photo, but I know some Kopi Luwak ‘producers’ force feed the civets coffee cherries to maximise production. So I can’t say this is a natural shit for a civet, because it could be human induced.
Considering how the civets treat coffee cherries, this would be like if some aliens were forcefeeding you glazed donuts for the same purpose. Abuse in many cases, but it started with a natural attraction being exploited. Ethical sources still uses attracted wild civets or cage free farms
How can a creature have shit like that?
Eat a bunch of whole coffee beans and you probably will too.
It actually comes out more like coffee grounds

Imagine being forced to shit a log, so that some fancy pants can have exotic coffee
