Would you pay this for beans?

Just looking at another order from Bailies, most expensive beans I've ever seen

Personally no however it's not uncommon for COE beans to sell for this or even more. There's obviously a market there.

I've had an espresso in 3fe of a really expensive bean, was really tasty but I'd rather 2-3 bags of really good beans than one of these. It's a bit like wine, a bottle of wine that costs €10 might be twice as good as €5, but spending €20 won't double the quality. And after that going to €50 or €60 won't even double that.

Above that its probably more about supply and demand, like there are only 100 bottles of this stuff so they are really expensive. I think its the same with coffee, the beans will be good but not 3 times as good as your standard single origin beans from the same roaster.

Beans like that are best bought for a cupping session or a group of nerds just getting together imho.

Almost pulled the trigger with a £5 bag to offset the price but decided to leave it. Now what beans to get(all my coffee comes from baililes)
