I can see paying that kind of money every now and again as a special treat. But only if you really like coffee and that particular bean. It's not much different than people spending hundreds of dollars for a bottle of wine.
Good point berryvox. Some spend their money on wine, coffee, shoes or jewelry while others spend their money on bikes and tents ;) or like me on bells, books and tons of Pepsi Cola. We buy what we want and sometimes what we love regardless of the cost. Thanks so much for the visit.
I can beat that :P How about this article from back in April's Daily Mail (UK Newspaper) about a coffee that costs £50 a cup. That's (very roughly converted) something like $100 a cup!! And if the price doesn't put you off...the ingredients probably will! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-558540/Worlds-expensive-coffee-50-cup-comes-British-stores--cats-droppings.html
Of course if it's just a caffiene kick you're after try the considerably cheaper Rocket Fuel coffee with added Guarana. There's a warning on the jar that says you should not drink if you suffer from heart or blood pressure problems, are pregnant, suffer from anxiety, and a whole host of other things. Yes this coffee comes with a health warning! I used to drink the stuff regularly as a student, and suspect it may have had quite a lot to do with my ongoing acid reflux issues these days.

Anyone else know of any rediculous coffees?
