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.

00:00trying the 265 pound coffee in London.
00:04And yes, you heard that right.
00:05This is a 265 pound coffee.
00:08These videos are not cheap to make,
00:10so if you want me to carry on making them,
00:11please hit that follow button.
00:13Apparently they have to wear these specific gloves
00:15when serving this kind of coffee because it's so expensive.
00:18I have never experienced anything like this.
00:21It just looked like a normal ice latte,
00:23but at least the straw was made out of gold.
00:25I think I've seriously wasted my money here.
00:27Now for what you've all been waiting for,
00:29how does the 265 pound coffee taste?
00:32The amount of flavor I had going on in my mouth right now
00:35really caught me off guard.
00:37I have never tried something like this before.
00:39I got goosebumps.
00:40It tasted crazy.
00:42It didn't even taste like coffee.
00:44It tasted like some sort of fruit.
00:46And then it hit me.
00:47I'm actually broke after this.
00:49Like each sip I was just taking was probably like 25 pounds.
00:52Considering the coffee is so expensive,
00:55the ice just seemed cheap and it was melting so quick.
00:57It kind of ruined the coffee.
00:59So I did the right thing and downed my drink
01:01before it started tasting like tap water.
01:03This was one of the weirdest experiences
01:05I've ever had in my life.
01:06And I didn't feel good after it.
01:07Because I got hit with the 270 pound bill.
01:10I'm gonna rate the coffee a five out of 10.
