Sorry, but this stuff is nowhere near the same plane of existence as top shelf whisky.

My wife brought back seven bags of varying Gisha coffee from a recent trip to Panama. They are quite good and have natural flavors you don’t taste from standard coffee. A pound goes for $16-$40.
It is not the normal coffee bean, so that adds to the taste difference.
I still prefer light-roasted Guatemalan coffee from the Huehuetenago area best, though.

I am a coffee fiend. It is the last remaining vice and I drink at least 6 cups a day. The consistently best coffee I have found is the Colombian Supremo at Costco. 3 pounds for a tad more than a cup of this swill.

There's a certain Bay Area type that loves to overpay for things rendered rare by artificial shortages. This coffee, Pliny the Younger IPA. I'm hoping it all finally pays off when it's time to sell my house and find somewhere cheaper to live.

For $15/cup it had better have some ‘Top-Shelf Whiskey’ IN IT.

I’d give it a try. It’s not a mortgage payment. But I used to roast my own beans!!

Bet they would pay twice as much for elephant poop coffee.

Equator Coffee educator Akaash Saini said various fertilizers are used to grow the coffee beans.
There’s something they aren’t tell us here...

ping me when it’s available in a k-cup ;)

Yeah, right. "Producers" are caging civets, and feeding them whatever the stage of ripeness cherries, instead of civets being able to choose the ripest cherries off plants.
Heck, I looked it up on Amazon, and they're shilling robusta beans as Kopi Luwak. No thanks.

For $15/cup it had better have some âTop-Shelf Whiskeyâ IN IT. Best post of the day.

Next time I’m in the Bay Area, I’ve got to check this out. This must be good coffee indeed if they are charging $15 a cup for it.

We did not — for the coffee.
However, we did roast our own fresh cocoa beans from the pods, which, strangely, customs said was fine, as long as they came from Panama.
My wife has roasted coffee in her prior days, though.

I’m partial to Kona coffee, but at present, I’m going through a bag of Ka’u coffee, which is also from Hawaii.

I gave up coffee when I was pregnant, but after I gave birth, I drank so much coffee my children had latte for the next six months.

Went through a stage Everything Coffee—ordered beans from all over, and I think my favorites worked out to be Nicaraguan and Guatemalan and Jamaican. Kona was too mild and expensive—went through two home roasters. Coffee is messy and greasy and smoky to roast!
