Is Expensive Coffee Worth The Money?

Personal finance experts like Ramit Sethi and Suze Orman are split on whether buying coffee is a waste of money, but what about paying $100 for a cup? Elida Geisha Natural 1029 is currently the most expensive coffee in the world at $1,029 per pound. Is it worth the money?

    You don't understand, that for us coffee enthusiast, it is not just a comodity. Something we just quickly chug to get caffein into our system. For instance i am an part time barista and an university student, meaning I don't really have a lot of money, but I buy a bag of geisha here and there (nothing this crazy expansive, think maybe coffees that are like 3 times more expansive than regular speciality), because coffee is my passion and a hobby.

You happen to like bad coffee, good for you, but don't try poo pooing American coffee because most of the coffee that we Americans enjoy actually comes from places like South America and Africa. Which you probably didn't know. Also, cheap coffee comes at the price of coffee farmers being exploited for cheap labor and not getting a fair price on their produce.

    Sorry for the late reply. Grind as you would an Ethiopian, and hopefully you have a grinder that doesn't produce too many fines. Use a lower temperature than normal, I'd say 90-91, because Geisha doesn't extract as quickly as other coffees, so the draw down will be longer (as will the brew time). Lowering the brew temp offsets that somewhat so you don't get over extraction. I go 20g to 300ml, Hoffman method with expected brew time in the 3:30 to 4 minute range at 91C. I wouldn't recommend using a 4:6 method on this bean, it's got way too much floral and fruit notes to use a coarse grind imo.

Even someone completely untrained in the coffee industry would be able to tell the difference between a Geisha coffee and other cups....even you. I know this because I did exactly that. I bought some Geisha coffee at $140 per lbs and had a tasting with some friends and had three other coffees there. Even my friend's wife, who doesn't like coffee, could tell the difference. His reactions in the video are genuine. Panama produces some of the best coffee in the world.

    You can purchase beans directly from the source. Lamastus farms has a website, as does the Peterson family and you can join their mailing list and request a sample box. But being that they're a farm/producer, they don't ship in small quantities. The whole idea is to sell in bulk to roasters. So no, they won't sell you a 1lb bag every month. However, if you want to buy a 100kilo sack of unroasted coffee beans, that's another story ;p
