SAN FRANCISCO—A California cafe is brewing up what it calls the world’s most expensive coffee—at $75 a cup. Klatch Coffee is serving the exclusive brew, the Elida Natural Geisha 803, at its branches in Southern California and San Francisco. He calls the annual competition the coffee world’s equivalent of the Oscars. The coffee’s high quality and limited supply set off a bidding war that determined its astronomical price, topping last year’s winning beans that sold for $601 per pound, Thiara said. The 10 pounds of beans will produce about 80 cups of coffee, Thiara said.
