So yesterday I was at this fancy coffee shop and bought this cup of coffee that was $14.99 plus tax. It was made from Kona coffee beans which is one of the most expensive coffees in the world. Here's the pic.
 

 
How did it taste?
 
It was good.
 
Was it worth it?
 
While it was good, it wasn't mind blowing. I wasn't transported back to the jungle of coffee trees and did not see the water falls and visions of virgins carrying me to the higher realm. It actually kind of tasted plain. That being said, if you love Kona coffee, then enjoy!

Someone gave me a pound of Kopi Luwak from Java. I wish they would have just given me money.

I wanna try that Kopi coffee some day.

I'm now back in the fancy coffee shop as I'm typing. I'm drinking a coffee from an Ethiopian bean. This cup is at a cheaper economical price of $6.48 for a cup.

I remember during my college days, coffee would cost less than a dollar at the foodcourt! (40 to 50 cents perhaps)
 
Students are poor...

 

[Spareribs]

I heard that in the old days, coffee used to cost 10 cents a cup.

 

[SomeWiseGuy]

I wish those prices still exist today...

Buy a thermo and make your coffee at home

Coffee quality can be pretty surprising. During our roadtrip earlier this year, my wife and I had double espressos at a random gas station just south of Passa dello Stelvio in Italy that was better than most coffees I've had here in the US. I think we paid less than 3 euros. Go figure...

Why????????? Civet poop coffee? Not for me. I cringe just thinking about it. I don't care how good it tastes.

It's not the same kind of poop you think. Not all poop is equal.

Huh????????? It is the end product of an animal's digestive system. 

 

[Spareribs]

But it's not just an ordinary animal. It's a special animal, kind of like a unicorn.

There is also ridiculously expensive black ivory coffee, which is elephant poop coffee.

What will they think of next? Bonobo poop coffee? Panda poop coffee? White tiger poop coffee? Not only are these animals endangered species, they might also not be too fond of eating coffee beans.
