Starbucks most expensive coffee yet costs $7 a cup

November 27, 2012 @ 7:37 am (Updated: 7:40 am - 11/27/12 )

Starbucks has introduced its most expensive coffee which will cost customers up to $7 per cup.

The Costa Rica Finca Palmilera coffee is only available in 48 stores in America, including most in Seattle.

What makes it so special, according to the company, is that it's made from a rare coffee variety, known as Geisha. It's found in Central America and is notoriously difficult to grow.

A tall cup of the coffee costs $6, while a grande is $7. Starbucks is selling eight-ounce bags of the coffee for $40.

    I've had maybe one or two cups of Megabucks coffee over the past 5 years, thanks to the lunacy of Howard Shultz.

    to some of us, caffeine IS Vitamin "C". ..... as in 'Coffee is not a drug, it's a vitamin.'

    So. I'll likely try it once, but stick to my 4AM at IHOP.

    Find another way to get your caffeine. The aspartame is REALLY bad for you... Do some research on it on your own.

    Switch to coffee, tea, or get a soda maker and use a natural sweetener that doesn't cause tumors and brain damage, like stevia or something. :-)
