$344 for a flat white?
|
Hi Reader, A Scottish dairy farmer is selling the UK’s most expensive cup of coffee. You can buy a flat white from him for a whopping $344. That’s over 80 times the price of a regular cup of coffee in the UK. Why would anyone spend this much on their morning beverage? Well, you’re not just investing in a morning pick-me-up. He’s selling shares in a crowdfunding Mossgiel Organic Dairy campaign to produce more milk. Owner Bruce Cunningham wants to expand his operation out of Scotland and start selling organic coffee in London. Perhaps a latte would have been a better choice for this marketing stunt? It’s a larger drink with more milk. But let’s face it: us coffee snobs prefer a good flat white over, even if it doesn’t last as long. His marketing stunt got me thinking about the most expensive coffee machines. This Coffee machine dispenser costs a whopping $20k. Granted, it’s for commercial use. This Italian machine costs a somewhat more modest $7k. No, I haven’t tried it, and I’ve no plans to review it either. The Jura 8 is also popular in small offices and high-end apartments. My last employer had a few of these. It's a nice machine. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, we've also rounded up the most expensive coffee brands here. Happy brewing, Full Coffee Roast / |

The built-in conical burr grinder and milk frother saves precious counter space in my kitchen as I don’t have to buy a separate grinder or frother. The adjustable...
