MadisonMan said...: I guess if you want to be able to report, breathlessly, to your Cocktail Party-going friends on something new and exciting, this is something to do.

Kudos to the Grower for a great marketing triumph.; 10/17/17, 5:54 AM
TrespassersW said...: Ain't no cuppa coffee worth $55. Tells me something about you if you're spending your money that way.

Paddy O said...: The 909 hits sophistication!

Oddly enough one of their locations was my local coffee shop for many years. Been there a lot. Nice, casual, entirely unpretentious place next door to a Boot Barn. Great place to hang out that has also won awards for roasting.; 10/17/17, 7:06 AM

Bill Peschel said...: I hate seeing my cynicism confirmed, but it's their money.

Hint for the 909: You don't have to buy the cup to brag about being there. Lying's free and you get the same benefit.; 10/17/17, 7:47 AM
Ralph L said...: Timed? So everyone drinks simultaneously--or in succession?; 10/17/17, 8:05 AM

Big Mike said...: I suppose he'd be pissed if I asked where the sugar and creamer are?

Just joking! I drink mine black and thick -- a product of 2:00 AM debugging sessions in the days of my youth.; 10/17/17, 8:17 AM
tcrosse said...: It would almost be worth the $55 to buy a cup of the stuff and then do a Danny Thomas spit-take.; 10/17/17, 8:21 AM
pacwest said...: Do I get a free pet rock with that?; 10/17/17, 8:24 AM
Patrick said...: It's like very expensive scotch. You don't drink it because it tastes so good, you drink it so you can talk about it; 10/17/17, 8:49 AM
Jaq said...: I paid $10 for a cup of very average coffee just outside of Heathrow Airport, when you allowed for the exchange rate, so this doesn't seem that far out of line for a price. Since I can't actually taste it, I can't tell you.; 10/17/17, 9:16 AM

I read that advice in the book How to Talk about Books You Haven't Read.

Excellent read!!; 10/17/17, 9:34 AM

Bob said...: Like Paddy O, I've been to one of Klatch's locations. Great change from S-Bucks - makes you want to sit a spell and tell tall tales. $55 is pretty steep, but I suppose there are some who can tell you it's worth it.; 10/17/17, 9:37 AM

I agree that people are free to spend their own money however they choose. I also remember hearing Robin Williams say, "Cocaine is God's way of telling you you are making too much money."; 10/17/17, 9:45 AM
