What’s the most expensive cup of coffee in the world?
I’m a big coffee drinker – especially cappuccino – and I spend a lot of time in central London, so I’m used to paying a lot for my coffee. But today was something else.
This morning, I met a colleague for a working discussion over coffee and, at the Hilton Hotel by Paddington station, my cup of cappuccino cost £5.20. Now the meeting was at her request, she chose the venue, and she paid the bill – but it made me wonder: is this the most expensive cup of coffee in the world?

Hi Roger,
I googled the phrase “most expensive cup of coffee”, and got 261,000 hits!
Forbes magazine had an article on the subject in July, with Moscow getting the top slot for average price (over $10 US).

Roger,
That was funny!
Surely it would be somewhere in Aspen…

In the bar at the Ritz in Madrid you can get a cup of coffee for 12 euro, to wash down your 1900 euro portion of caviar!
