How much are you willing to pay for a cup of joe?
A gourmet coffee chain is betting you'll pay up to $12 for a fine brew.
Cafe Grumpy has Brooklyn locations in Greenpoint and Park Slope. It also has a Manhattan location in Chelsea.
It is part of a small, but growing, movement of coffee shops roasting their own beans.
The company defends the steep prices, saying they are higher end coffees and take much longer to develop and process.
The cafes offer a changing selection of coffees. One current offering is called Nekisse. It is described as a "very clean, sweet, complex cup with tropical fruit notes of pineapple, kiwi and key lime." ...

For twelve dollars I'd want a basket of tropical fruit for comparison purposes thrown in.

Is it gonna have a shot of Eagle Rare in it?

And I thought it was bad enough paying $40/lb for Jamaican Blue Mountain.

I complain when I can't get a can of coffee for under $8.

Would you still complain if you got the 3-lb bag of Starbucks for $18?

Me neither....but I have a serious devotion to their Double Chocolate-y Chip Frappacino. :drool:
no coffee at all in it....and it's kind of like a semi-frozen chocolate thing with bits of chocolate in it. :-)

My money's on Ralphie . . . but, when other people take the challenge, all bets are off.

Tastes burnt to me.
I'd love me some med roast Jamaican Blue. Pure Kona ain't half bad either.
