A content creator forked out £265 on a single cup of coffee and said it tasted no better than a £4 latte.
Carmie Sellitto, 26, was in Mayfair, London when he stumbled upon SHOT London, a coffee shop that serves 'the world's finest coffees'.
Carmie expected a pricey cup but he was left speechless when he spotted Japan Typica Natural coffee on the menu for a staggering £265.
Made from Typica beans, a Japanese variety of Arabica beans, the drink is thought to be one of Britain's most expensive coffee cups.
Despite the eye-watering price, Carmie who regularly tries expensive items out of curiosity knew he had to order it.
But the London creator was left disappointed and said he couldn't tell the difference between his expensive brew and his friend's £4 iced latte.
Carmie, from Shepherd's Bush, London said: "When I looked at the menu I was shocked.
"I asked my friend am I seeing this right?
"Honestly it was just so underwhelming.
"It tasted slightly fruitier, but that's it.

"My friend bought a £4 iced latte but I could barely tell the difference.
"No way was it worth £265.
"Even if it was a fiver, I wouldn't buy it again.
"I think it's so stupid.
"I honestly think I can make better coffee than that."
