The Fact The "World's Most Expensive" Cup Of Coffee Is Only $75 Makes Me Need To Have A Cup Of The World's Most Expensive Cup Of Coffee

NY Post - A California cafe is brewing up what it calls the world’s most expensive coffee — at $75 a cup.

Klatch Coffee is serving the exclusive brew, the Elida Natural Geisha 803, at its branches in Southern California and San Francisco.

The 803 in the coffee’s name refers to the record-breaking $803 per pound the organic beans sold for at a recent auction after winning the Best of Panama coffee competition, said Bo Thiara, co-owner of the Klatch branch in San Francisco. He calls the annual competition the coffee world’s equivalent of the Oscars.

Only 100 pounds of the beans were available for purchase, and most went to Japan, China and Taiwan, Thiara said. Klatch secured 10 pounds and is the only chain in North America to have it.

The 10 pounds of beans will produce about 80 cups of coffee, Thiara said.

Not for nothing, but $75 for the world’s MOST EXPENSIVE cup of coffee is a steal. When something is the “most expensive” I expect it to be way out of my price range. I don’t want to be able to afford anything that is labeled the “world’s most expensive”. Even if it’s a bologna sandwich, that bologna better be from god damn Babe the pig’s intestines and served on some nice imported French bread and sold on a 24k gold platter for $340.

When it comes down to it, if it’s the world’s most expensive, I want to balk at it. And I do not balk at a $75 cup of coffee. Now I need to try it. I don’t know how coffee ships, but I need someone to buy one and send it to me. I’ll Venmo you. But if I can afford something that only 80 people in North American can have, I gotta have it. And if I can’t have it, if you live out there around that coffee shop, you better go get it. And face it, you’ve blown $75 bucks on way worse. One round of drinks at a NYC bar is more than $75 bucks, and let me tell you, Fireball is for sure not the world’s most expensive whiskey.
