Who is Spending $45 For COFFEE?!

Most of us are NOT looking to spend an arm and a leg for coffee. But if you want the most EXPENSIVE morning possible . . . here’s a pricey Starbucks order, which may also come with a hospital bill.

Someone figured out that the most expensive single beverage you can order on the Starbucks app is $45. It’s not a normal drink, obviously . . . you need to make a lot of modifications.

Here’s how you order it: It’s a “Venti Matcha Crème Frappuccino,” with an additional, “12 spots of espresso, plus 12 affogato-style shots.”

The base drink is $6.25. The 12 espresso shots add $15 . . . the 12 affogato-style shots bump it up another $15 . . . and the other add-ons to get there are:

Mocha and dark caramel sauces: $1.60.

Caramel drizzle: 60 cents.

Frappuccino chips and one pump of chai: $1.60.

Caramel crunch topping: 50 cents.

Vanilla bean and chocolate malt powder, 4 scoops each: $1.

And just for the heck of it, whipped cream: Which is free, thank goodness.

That totals $41.55, and with tax that can bump it to $45. The prices may be slightly different based on the location.

The person who maxed this out says that they were just doing it as a stunt, and they DIDN’T actually try it. Which is a big missed opportunity . . . although I guess it’s probably smart if you value your health. (Would YOU drink it?)
