NEW YORK - A New York coffee shop is offering a 20-ounce beverage with 10 shots of espresso billed as "coffee porn in a cup."

Tony Fisher, owner of The Pulp & The Bean, said the Dieci, named after the Italian word for 10, went on sale Tuesday after he realized the all-espresso drink had "never been done before," the New York Daily News reported Wednesday.

"It just dawned on me that people really love espresso, so why not just give them a cup full of espresso?" Fisher said.

"It's 20 ounces of just thunder," he said. "One giant cup of jet fuel."

Fisher said the Dieci, billed on a sign outside the shop as "coffee porn in a cup," is ideal for "on-the-go" customers, such as students.

Dr. Jacob Shani, chief of cardiology at Maimonides Medical Center, urged caution in consuming high-caffeine beverages.

"It will make the heart beat a little faster, and it will increase blood pressure," he said. "If you're young and healthy you will get away with it, (but) it's not something I would recommend."

770 milligrams of caffeine is going to get someone in trouble.

The police officers union will riot if ever there are limits placed on caffine abuse.

And one GIANT, CRASHING headache when you come down... No, thanks. I'll get my high from life, if you don't mind.

As with the best Vietnamese coffee, you should start with the strongest coffee you can muster up. I use my Bialetti Moka pot, although you could make a deal with your local coffee shop, and swap espresso for popsicles

. . . he realized the all-espresso drink had "never been done before" . . .

You don't say.

Not bad. The coffee shop in the International Affairs Builtind at Columbia sells one with 6.
The scary thing is that I fell asleep in class one after drinking one of those!

Caffeine causes dehydration - I wouldn’t even want to mess with a dose like that.
