I paid 90kc for a double espresso in a sports bar off Wenceslas Square last week. Trying to perk up for the cricket. Never again. Couldn't have been checking the menu.
I'm still pissed off with women ordering tiny bottles of water to mix with wine at twice the price of a pint. |

Valmont, which used to be on Parizska, charged 120 for a normal, Marriot i think is 95... both cases it was sub-standard sigafredo.
who cares what is most expensive, best would be to ask WHERE IS THE BEST COFFEE in prague.
#1 KOGO
#2 Kabba
#3 Ebel
anyone? |

PragueBoy - because the most expensive coffee in prague is like a dare. We all have our fave cheap places - mine is the 15 kc nescafe machine - save that for another thread.
That Valmont place sounds pricey. |

Tea is the beverage of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as coffee, but an elegant beverage for a more civilized age. |

Not a jedi.
as for CHEAP coffee, cafe ideal, is still 20kc - shakes in vrsovice used to be 20, don't know now. The Nam miru automat rocks, for 10 kc...
Valmont is closed, btw. Don't know the price of the place there now.
I believe that Intercontinental asks 1200 kc for their basic b-fast for guests, bread cheese and coffee, perhaps that would win. |

That's what you get for mixing *coffee* with cricket. |

PragueBoy, I think 'best' also depends on the blend you choose at, for example, Ebel. They're number one in my book, equal to Vzpominky na Afriku. |

"Best" means overall choice, quality of each choice, how it is prepared.
Ebel and Vzpominky na Afriku are the same, so i agree they are equal :)
http://www.ebelcoffee.cz/ebel_en.htm
Kabba actually uses Ebel coffee, but i rated Ebel at #3, cause i think that both Kogo and Kabba's staff know how to prepare it better. Kogo has only Mexico brand coffee, but it is served PERFECTLY, with a polyphasic colloidal foam ( or as the italians call it, crema). at every location.
( That is if you like a tight ristretto with a proper head )
Props to Ebel, they rock, but there is more to java then just knowin' what brands to order. |

Haha anon # 17 but do you want to know whats funnier?
Im at KKK at Narodni and people are paying 120 Kc for coffee - every time the prodavacka says the total - like "200 Kc Please" and "thats 320 Kc Please" its so funny. But you do see people coming in to look at the prices and then walk out. That's funny too. But at least they have BRAINS.
At my uni I great a great cino for about 5 Kc courtesy of the big coffee machine. |

PragueBoy, back to the (off-topic) Rachel Corrie play. I think this quote from Harold Pinter's open letter sums it up best:
�In London it played to sell-out houses. Critics praised it. Audiences found it intensely moving. So what is it about Rachel Corrie's writings, her thoughts, her feelings, her confusions, her idealism, her courage, her search for meaning in life — what is it that New York audiences must be protected from?�
I think it's ironic that 'tough' New York is so pathetic, so weak. |

KKK is a little pricier than some but its great coffee and big cups.
On the other hand for true tourist trap rip-offs you cant beat the town square. |

kogo, there are 3 of them :
Havelska 27, Karlovo nam 10, and Slovanksy Dum, Na prikope 10
Kaaba, is on Manesova 20
Another place to go, is my friend kaya's cafe at Americka 2, on the corner of Machova and Americka, it is more a cafe for selling cafe interiors but they have AMAZING coffee, and fresh bio-carrot juice |

That seems like a waiter took your friend for a ride. I have been to many an outdoor cafe on staromak, and usually it is 60-100kc for a coffee. Unless, somehow someone was offering Kopi Luwak, which i have never seen offered in Prague...
Kopi Luwak, the most expensive coffee in the world, is made from coffee beans eaten, partly digested and then excreted by the common palm civet, a weasel-like animal. The civet digests the soft outer part of the coffee cherry, but does not digest the inner beans and excretes them. The internal digestion ends up adding a unique flavor to the beans, removing the bitter flavor, and then beans are then picked up by locals and sold.
If you are in London, go to Edible, on Redchurch Street, they are the only people i know of who sell it in Europe, although I am sure if you google round, they will have it in Holland as well. |

Yup, we actually had about 3 shots each, they were running a special.
Twas AMAZING to say the least, yet somehow it was morbidly better knowing we were writing it off on a business trip consulting for a big tobacco company. The tab for 12 shots (for 4 of us) was $300. We also had a game, looking for the most expensive staropramen in London, the nightclub PASHA won, at 9 quid per luke-warm .33 bottle. to any smokers out there, thanks. |

I hear that hard-core coffee lovers eat the beans straight from the weasal poop (sorry, i mean, excrement..).
Maybe we should import a couple civets, make a fortune.. But can they stay at your house? :] |

speaking of eating the beans direct from such a substance, my chocolate-covered coffee bean connection dried up and I need a fix or I'm gonna die in spasms resembling the bends. anyone know where I can get chocolate-covered beans in Praha? |

i will do some shameless promotion for some friends here, but it is to answer the original question posted almost 4 yrs ago so here goes -
http://en.labohemecafe.eu
is now the most expensive* - but by far the best coffee available in prague. The The Rwanda Nyakizu and Brazilian Rainha are amazing, they even carry Kopi Luwak.
* Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world, ($100-$600 USD per pound) - Only a few hundred kilograms at most make it into the world market each year.
of course, if you want a cheap, decent cup of fair trade, http://www.mamacoffee.cz is your best bet... |
