Coffee aficionados have a difficult decision to make: Spend $7 on a full lunch or on a single cup of Starbucks coffee?
The brew in question: The Seattle giant’s new Costa Rica Finca Palmilera, its most expensive offering ever and also one of its rarest. The coffee is part of the company’s Reserve line and costs $7 for a grande cup.

No Starbucks found more fools!
I have never been to SB and don’t ever plan to.
$1.00 is too much for a cup of coffee let alone 5 0r 7 dollars.
Whats the saying about Fools and Money?
Apparently $7 cups are flying out the door. The idiots are even buying up the beans at $40 per half pound as fast as they can get them.
The most expensive Starbucks drink ever costs $23.60.
It starts with a Trenta cup.
One Java Chip Frappucino ($4.75), plus 16 shots of espresso($12), a shot of soy milk(.60), a drop of caramel flavoring(.50), a scoop of banana puree($1), another scoop of strawberry puree(.60), a few vanilla beans(.50), a dash of Matcha powder(.75), some protein powder(.50) and a caramel and mocha drizzle to cap it off(.60).
A lot of people these days seem to think that if they are not getting a wholesale price from a retailer, they are being ripped off.
So go ahead - fly to Los Angeles and buy 1,000 pounds of coffee beans fresh off the boat from Colombia and have them shipped to your house by truck and break them up into one pound bags by yourself and grind and use them all within two weeks before they start to go stale. You'll definitely get a better price than $7 a cup. :)
'You'll never go broke pandering to the lowest common denominator..'
A lot of people these days feel that if they are not getting the below cost price they are getting ripped off. Of course, those on the government dole are getting it for free.
When Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz endorsed BHO, I stopped my daily routine of buying coffee at Starbucks. That’s a reduction of about $90 a month in their revenue. Adios Starbucks.
If people wanna pay 7 bucks for coffee, who am I to argue with that.
Personally I use instant coffee mixed with vanilla protein shake and some sugar free caramel syrup for a yummy nutritious caffeine and protein boost.
But I have been accused of having no taste buds whatso
There are Starbucks in Montana and Idaho, but I have a feeling these drinks aren't selling as well as they are at stores in BLUE neighborhoods.
Just detest their politics. Leftists bastards
