At an online auction on Tuesday, a lot of green, or unroasted, coffee beans from Finca El Injerto in Guatemala sold for $500.50 a pound, one of the highest prices ever paid for coffee.

Sounds like the law diminishing returns to me. There isn’t a coffee in the world worth that (to me, obviously someone paid it).
I hope it plates your teeth in platinum as you sip it.

I just realized my typo in the headline, too. I’ll adjust it from $550.50 to $500.50 (the actual cost).
