Carmie Sellitto, 26, paid £265 for a cup of Japan Typica Natural coffee in Mayfair, London, only to find it tasted no better than a standard latte.
The content creator visited SHOT London, known for luxury coffees, and was shocked by the price but ordered it out of curiosity.
Despite its exclusive Typica beans, he described the taste as “slightly fruitier” but otherwise unremarkable.
Comparing it to his friend’s £4 iced latte, he called the experience “stupid” and said he wouldn’t buy it again—even for £5.

trying the 265 pound coffee in London.
00:04
And yes, you heard that right.
00:05
This is a 265 pound coffee.
00:08
These videos are not cheap to make,
00:10
so if you want me to carry on making them,
00:11

00:13
Apparently they have to wear these specific gloves
00:15
when serving this kind of coffee because it's so expensive.
00:18
I have never experienced anything like this.
00:21
It just looked like a normal ice latte,
00:23
but at least the straw was made out of gold.
00:25
I think I've seriously wasted my money here.
00:27
Now for what you've all been waiting for,
00:29
how does the 265 pound coffee taste?
00:32
The amount of flavor I had going on in my mouth right now
00:35
really caught me off guard.
00:37
I have never tried something like this before.
00:39
I got goosebumps.
00:40
It tasted crazy.
00:42
It didn't even taste like coffee.
00:44
It tasted like some sort of fruit.
00:46
And then it hit me.
00:47
I'm actually broke after this.
00:49
Like each sip I was just taking was probably like 25 pounds.
00:52
Considering the coffee is so expensive,
00:55
the ice just seemed cheap and it was melting so quick.
00:57
It kind of ruined the coffee.
00:59
So I did the right thing and downed my drink
01:01
before it started tasting like tap water.
01:03
This was one of the weirdest experiences
01:05
I've ever had in my life.
01:06
And I didn't feel good after it.
01:07
Because I got hit with the 270 pound bill.
01:10
I'm gonna rate the coffee a five out of 10.
