The Most Expensive Starbucks Single Coffee Ordered?

People who get their morning blast of caffeine from Starbucks are used to the prices, but Logan Warren of the site Geek on Call may very well have found the exact combination of flavors, foam, sweetness and caffeine to create the most expensive Starbucks drink in history.

The tab? Almost $24.00.

Logan had a coupon for a free Starbucks drink of his choice, and he enlisted the help of a friendly barista to max it out. "I decided to take the opportunity to find out just how much money I could pour into a Trenta—Starbucks’ whopping 31 ounce cup! After about a half-hour with a laughing barista, we created the most expensive drink possible: one Java Chip Frappuccino in a Trenta cup, 16 shots of espresso, a shot of soy milk, caramel flavoring, banana puree, strawberry puree, vanilla beans, Matcha powder, protein powder, and a drizzle of caramel and mocha."

So how did the $23.60 brew taste?

”Tolerable, but not good,” Logan says. “Imagine a coffee-based health food smoothie that will put you in the hospital if you drink it all. That’s how it tastes like Jillian Michaels with a touch of Chuck Norris.”

Logan did have the sense not to drink the whole thing. His bizarre creation had a whopping 1400mg of caffeine — more than three times the amount considered by experts as a “heavy dose.” “If I drank this all at once,” Logan said, “it would put me in the hospital. Two of these would kill me.”
