You Can Taste the World's Most Expensive Coffee in Sydney Tonight

If you thought your coffee habit was getting a little costly, spare a thought for Sydney Coffee Business' Jason Kew, who forked out $601 per pound for a rare blend of the stuff in an online auction back in May.

Known as Esmeralda Geisha Canas Verdes Natural, the blend immediately became the world's most expensive coffee, blitzing the previous record of a measly $350 per pound. To be fair, Kew's not hoarding it all to himself, and is happy to share his sweet, caffeine-laced spoils with other coffee-mad Sydneysiders. Tonight, he's teaming up with Seven Miles Coffee Roasters for a one-off tasting session of the blend at their Manly Vale store.

Dubbed 'The 601 Experience', the event kicks off at 5pm tonight — and it's not cheap, with tickets priced at $55. That'll get you entry for two people and a 15-gram serve of coffee, which you can brew yourself, or have whipped up for you by one of Seven Miles' champion brewers.

The 601 Experience will kick off at 5pm tonight — Friday, August 25 — at Seven Miles Coffee Roasters, 75 Kenneth Road, Manly Vale. Grab your tickets here.
