Camp Grounds has secured just four litres of an extremely limited, price record-breaking Ethiopian brew that will cost coffee enthusiasts 20 bucks a cup.
Available only on International Coffee Day, October 1, the Rumadamo history-making bean will be available once and once only, Camp Grounds co-owner Mon Hope said.
"It's one of the most expensive coffees in the 20-year history of the Cup of Excellence, which is the Oscars of coffee, it's really expensive and really tasty," she said.
"This is the first time Ethiopian coffee has been showcased in this way, and it makes a difference to those producers to get paid well for the amazing coffee they have produced.
"It's about the bean, and the farmer getting a good price for a high-quality product."
The folks at Camp Grounds will run an Instagram live Q&A with coffee roasters Single O, who are known pioneers of specialty coffee.

Camp Grounds bought only a small amount themselves because of the high price, Ms Hope said.
"There's a bit of pressure, nobody can stuff up a batch of this or waste any," she said.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime tasting."
The batch-brew will be available on International Coffee Day, October 1 at Camp Grounds, with cups available for $20 and tastings for $4.
