[quote]NEW YORK — A Brooklyn coffee shop is offering customers a real jolt: 10 shots of espresso in a single serving with the nickname "porn in a cup."
The Pulp & The Bean in the Crown Heights neighborhood put the item on the menu on Tuesday with the official name of "Dieci," Italian for "10." The nickname comes from a sign advertising the drink outside the store, whose specialty item was first reported by the New York Daily News.
Shop owner Tony Fisher, 37, said sales were brisk in part because "nobody's ever had the chutzpah to do anything like this before."
"This is for the person who wants to experience the limits of where coffee and espresso can go," he said of the drink, which weighs in at 20 ounces.
Fisher opened his shop specializing in latte coffee and chai tea about a year ago in a neighborhood that has traditionally been split between Orthodox Jews and Caribbean immigrants but has seen an influx of young professionals and gays who make up the bulk of his clientele.
Fisher came up with the idea after finding that a double espresso was not enough.
"Sometimes I'll drink a double espresso and say to myself, 'I need another double.' And then another double will turn into another double. And I was like, why not drink a full cup?"
The beverage is not for everyone, especially considering such a large dose of caffeine can increase heart rate and blood pressure.
"I won't sell it to anybody in their 40s and up," Fisher said. "I'll just tell them I can offer an alternative."[/quote]
double shots don't do anything for me so this is cool
Holy shit. This isn't that far from me, going to try this out this weekend. Will report in.
Jesus christ, it's like instant heart attack.

serious business
Ten shots? Bah! I drank twenty shots of espresso once, all within thirty minutes.
Needless to say I ended up in the emergency room because of severe heart palpitations.

For people who drink insane amounts of coffee or are addicted is what this drink is made for. Though a double shot of espresso is like a half-hour to a hour thing unless I mix it with good alcohol.

Expect bleach cola will kill you no mater who you are and isn't going to be allowed to sell due to the fact its lethal.

But...bleach is a poison to humans :(
That is fucking dangerous.
I had a 2 shot espresso drink the other day and was convinced I was having a heart attack afterwards.
I wasn't but heart was beating like a mad cunt.

So go buy some bleach and cola then mix the two and enjoy the death cocktail.

Cool, bleach cola=10 shots of espresso.
Yeah, a product by nature that's lethal vs a drink we can ingest, and you make that into your argument?
