Hey, coffee fans — ever tried something called the Dieci? That name is Italian for 10, but it’s better known by how it’s advertised on a store’s chalkboard sign: “coffee porn in a cup.”
At The Pulp & The Bean in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, this $8 concoction consists of ten shots of espresso in a glass. Apparently, drinking just a fraction of it can make a man dizzy.
The New York Daily News stopped by the place to investigate who might need such a jolt all at once. Let’s let store owner Tony Fisher offer his explanation in caffeine-inspired bursts.
“It’s 20 ounces of just thunder.”
“One giant cup of jet fuel.”
“I drank a third of it. I’m still spinning.”
“It’s never been done before.”
“It just dawned on me that people really love espresso, so why not just give them a cup full of espresso?”
“We’re aiming for the on-the-go crowd — say a student who has an exam and really needs to wake up and get their act together.”
Looks like someone had one too many Diecis.
