☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

That's way too much. I'll make you one for just $330.

It's a product for rich people who want to tell a story.
If your yearly income is $10,000,000, a $335 cup of coffee costs as much to you as a $1.69 cup costs to someone with average income.

I don't think he makes 10 mil/year

No, but in his case, the video about it makes more than $335.

Just because someone is charging that price does not mean that’s how valuable the product is.

People are fucking stupid and will buy anything to make themselves feel rich and special. 🙄

That's exactly the point of the video

Haha yes. I also love how polite Hoffman conveys the message that this is fucking dumb.

As someone who has tried very expensive yet very bad tasting kopi luwak, I feel comfortable saying this is also a load of shit.

kopi luwak is literally from shit though, and no serious coffee connoisseur considers it to be good.

He probably made a lot more than that on the video. Plus he basically told the world it’s not worth it. Kind of a bad deal overall for the sellers. No wonder they didn’t want him filming inside the cafe!
