Please tell me this is a joke

People aren't really drinking cat shit right?

EDIT: WHAT THE FUCK

Vast majority of it is just cheap coffee labeled to be this and marked up for tourists / gift market. Have tried it, just tastes like cheap old coffee. It's not something genuinely sought after by coniseurs.

That makes this even dumber. If it actually had a good taste i could sort of understand it, in a honey sort of way. Sounds like it's just a silly novelty.

It's always about the story. Same reason restaurants get 2 and 3 michelline stars. It's about how pretentious and fancy you can make everything surrounding the meal and not about the meal itelsef.

I've eaten at a 2 star Michelin restaurant. It was definitely theater and not a meal. The Menu is one of the best dark humor movies I've ever seen because it's honestly not that far off lol

I really liked that movie!

One star restaurants are the way. They usually have been so focused on their cuisine at that point they haven't yet become super pretensious. Plus you actually have a shot at getting a table at these.

Loved it as well. My girlfriend and I will sometimes say Yes Chef when one of us asks the other for help with something.

I ate at a restaurant that sold this stuff. It was $85 a cup. I can appreciate a good cup of coffee but never at that price (monetary or cruelty).

I saw it in a torréfacteur in Paris, it was about €70 for 250g of beans

They must've taken you for a right mug 😂

It's done for the aromatic flavors.
