Which is London’s most expensive coffee?

Diljit Dosanjh, who recently won hearts with his royal outfit at the Met Gala 2025, is back with yet another Instagram video showcasing his quick wit, sense of humour, and impeccable comedic commentary — this time, documenting his experience of trying London’s most expensive cup of coffee. Like always, netizens loved his honest review.
The Crew actor visited Cafe Shot in the UK and ordered a cup of joe that cost 265 pounds (approximately Rs 31,000)
While getting out of his car, we hear him say: “Today, I am here for the most expensive coffee in London. I want to drink the Japan Typica coffee. This is too pricey, around Rs 31000 in India.”

Diljit explained in Punjabi, “They are measuring and pouring everything despite taking so much money. I am going to drink something pure now. I am not going to have food today, this is the only thing I’ll have. Each sip is worth ₹7,000.”
However, his reaction to the drink had the internet in stitches. “Ae toh pheeki coffee hai, saath main laddoo, boondi bhi le aao, itni expensive coffee hai. (This coffee is quite bland; they should get something sweet with it. The coffee is so expensive.)” The singer’s candid expression struck a chord of familiarity with netizens, who commented “ikk-ikk ghut 10 hazar da 😂😂😂” and “Your commentary… Meaning of real reels!”

What makes the coffee special
London’s specialty coffee bar Shot is selling a brew for an exorbitant rate of £265, making it not just London, but all of Great Britain’s most expensive coffee. According to Time Out, Shot sources the extortionate blend from Okinawa, an island in Japan. The beans are of the Japanese typica variety, and have been in production on the island since 2015.
Shot Cafe’s menu describes the ‘exquisite coffee’ as ‘reflective of the deeply-held Japanese value of striving for perfection’. Customers looking for a luxurious experience or coffee aficionados can order one of several common varieties such as an espresso, macchiato, flat white, americano, cappuccino or latte. The drink comes poured in a gold coffee cup.Story continues below this ad

Emphasising on the purity of the beans, a waitstaff told Dosanjh: “Outside everywhere, you will find it mixed with some other beans, but here it is pure.”
Speculating the steep price of this type of coffee, three-time UK bara champion Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood told The Telegraph that “the the exorbitant price may be because of the scarcity of coffee grown in Japan”. According to him, “hardly anyone grows coffee in Japan. It typically grows in the tropics – either side of the equator – it’s very hard to grow in places like Japan and probably needs a lot of help”, which is why it’s a rare feat when the coffee was imported and presented in front of you.
