Wasn’t paying attention to the conversion rate while espresso touring today in Copenhagen, and wound up ordering a $50usd shot of espresso. 😳
Im happy to support the farmer and the cafe. The expensive espresso tasted remarkably like…espresso 😂
We also had normal priced cappuccinos and a freddo, both of which were excellent.

No shot.
What was the reason for the $50 shot? Some sort of super-ultra-micro lot processed by an endangered cat’s digestive system and then washed in puppy tears?
Also, I like the cappuccino cup.
The extra $$ is definitely not going to the farmers
Wow! Spending on equipment, yeah… spending 50.00 for a shot of espresso?!!! Holy Cow Batman! !! No way!
At least it gave you a story to tell, hehehehe
What an absolute scam
Only thing you’re supporting is the owners car collection
shot have better come with a happy ending at least
Wow!! I definitely got a shock getting espresso from a 7/11 machine in Copenhagen, 6usd. However it was great! Copenhagen is expensive but has great coffee everywhere. Perhaps 7usd for a cup at a local cafe?
That’s a bargain compared to the $335 one
50usd shot from an LM Modbar???
Even if from a Slayer or Decent machine, no shot that that shot was 50.
Copenhagen? More like Copenmechanism
Proof of price.

How the fuck?
I’m really surprised there’s a market for this. This is such a luxury price. How many people are going to be ordering this in a single week? But maybe they’re fine if only a few people each week do this?
How was it though
Does it come with a blowjob maybe?
I would expect an orgasm with that coffee at that price
Was it in April cafe?
Copenhagen was remarkably affordable for me when I went 10 years ago. 50 for an espresso is wildly absurd. So many solid spots for food there too. I can’t imagine the 1000% upcharge for this espresso was worth it.
That being said…that’s nice fucking cafe. My dream is to make it big and have my own coffee shop in my house. One day.
I need the internet to do some sleuthing and find me those cups.
Lol my wife is in Copenhagen right now I’ll tell her to stay away for now lol 😂
But how did it taste?!
Bro should’ve ordered a latte hold the milk
April coffee in Copenhagen was the best espresso I’ve ever had – I bought the cheapest one on the menu which was about ten bucks.
If it makes you feel any better, as a local, I did the same thing at April once. Didn’t notice the price difference between a normal espresso and their limited. $30. Ordered one for my missus as well and she asked for milk and they straight up told her “please no” lol.
That said, it is the best espresso I’ve ever had so that softened the blow quite a bit
You can buy a really nice 8oz bag of a geisha coffee for $50 and do some pour overs. Coffee doesn’t really get much better after $9 for a cup.

Sounds like you paid for performance and perceived rarity. Those Esmerelda coffees always go for a ransom but they are limited and that farm created the market for gesha coffee that persists today. There is some sort of story with that SL34 also but I don’t remember. The legend goes that due to leaf rust decades ago someone imported some gesha (an Ethiopian coffee) to Panama and it did well there, but was forgotten about. 15 years ago or so they tried separating out the gesha from the other cherries on the farm and it melted their faces off. They won a cup of excellence and then competitors started wanting gesha for everything and the prices went insane. Not all gesha coffee is extraordinary. Some is, a lot is like any other coffee. For me PERSONALLY I’ve had some really interesting geshas like no other coffee I’ve ever had, but pourover is the way to appreciate all that nuance. I have a good palate but more often than not I pull way more flavor and nuance out of pourovers or brewed coffee than I do from
Espresso. If I were
Going to pay that much for a cup, it would be pourover for sure, but I would also never pay that for a cup of coffee because that’s too much for my financial status. It is tough when you’ve ordered and don’t want to embarrass yourself though. Last year I wanted to try a 4-pack of some beer brewed locally… I think it was a barleywine and you never see those around here. I took the 4 pack to the bar and she said “this is a special beer, so this is $76” or something like that. I was like “oh boy, I’m really sorry, I’ll take this other 4 pack please instead.” Oh well.
A mug for a mug
How was it?
Scandinavian prices man. Once in Tromso I accidentally ordered a $30 beer and $100 pizza which it was several years ago, prices have only gone up.
The counterpoint to folks bitching the guy in Napoli didn’t weigh the dose, WDT, tamp on a scale, while knocking out shots on 4 groupheads every few seconds, flying solo- for 2 bucks
lol I would have walked right out of there, that is insane 😂.
I’ve had coffee in Copenhagen a few times, but never something crazy like this. That said, they do it right over there from what I sampled.
April in CPH had one of the best espresso I tried in my life (would never buy it at this price though, I paid 8€ at the time) but their filter was like most filter coffee in specialty shop, tasting like flavored water.
