Many of us enjoy a delicious hot cup of coffee first thing in the morning. It’s almost like our own personal rituals to get us prepared for anything and everything that could come our way. For the most part, coffee is fairly affordable but there are some types of coffee that will break the bank!
Coffee has proven consistently popular over the years. Known for giving the drinker a good boost of energy, many people enjoy several cups to get them through the day. Instant coffee is popular for those who are in a mad rush to get in and out of the kitchen while filtered coffee takes longer to brew but yields more flavour. For those suffering from kidney issues like stones, filtered coffee is the better option. Instant coffee is particularly high in a substance called oxalated which, when combined with other substances, forms crystals and later can form stones. So, if you want the best option for your kidneys – go with filtered coffee. Pricing can vary but, for the most part, a mid-range product usually offers plenty of flavour.
Some of the most expensive coffees in the world include:
Hawaiian Kona Coffee – $34 per pound
Los Planes Coffee – $40 per pound
Fazenda Santa Ines – $50 per pound
Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee – More than $50 per pound
Saint Helena Coffee – $79 per pound
Kopi Luwak – $160 per pound
Finca El Injerto Coffee – $500 per pound
Black Ivory Coffee – More than $500 per pound
Hacienda La Esmeralda – More than $500 per pound
Of course, not all of these expensive coffees are easy to come by. Even if you could afford to splash out every now and then, they can be difficult to source. If you want an expensive cup of coffee that’s easier to find, visit Starbucks and ask for their Quadriginoctuple Frap. It’s less than $50 for a cup and you can show off a little without breaking the bank too much.
