DailyDirt: Drinking The Most Expensive Coffee
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Some people really like to drink coffee and are willing to pay nearly any price to do so. There are probably cheaper ways to get caffeine into your system, but if you like the taste of coffee, you might want to try some exotic procedures that are meant to make the coffee drinking experience just so much better. Here are a few links on some cups of coffee you might want to try if you have the money.- You've probably heard of the civet-poop coffee (aka Kopi Luwak) which is supposedly really good. But why not try a similar coffee from an elephant? Black Ivory Coffee isn't really that expensive. A pack that brews about 30 cups of coffee only costs about $275 (without shipping and handling).

- The ISSpresso machine is how astronauts get coffee (that isn't instant coffee) on the International Space Station (ISS). The cost of getting a ticket to ride on the ISS is the hefty part. [url]
- Starbucks coffee is significantly more expensive in China. Chinese customers are simply willing to pay more for a cup of joe because it's a luxury (and transportation costs are a bit high, though not ISS high), but the market for over-priced coffee might be drying up. [url]
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Do I really have to answer that? I think the "why not" is rather self-evident here.

Is that true? I just clicked the stumble button, and I don't have an account and it worked for me... Am I missing something?
