Ten shot espresso is 'porn in a cup'
A New York cafe is offering customers a coffee with 10 shots of espresso in a single serving nicknamed 'porn in a cup'.
The Pulp and The Bean in Brooklyn won't sell the ultra high caffeine drink to anyone over the age of 40, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Shop owner Tony Fisher, 37, said sales were brisk 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 one pint drink.
Mr 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," Mr Fisher said. "I'll just tell them I can offer an alternative."
The official name of the beverage is 'dieci', Italian for 'ten'.
