Coffee Taster Insured for More Than $13M

Can you imagine insuring your taste buds?! Well... the taste buds of the head coffee taster for a British coffee company (Costa Coffee) are now insured for more than $13 million! 

The man with the insurable taste buds... Gennaro Pelliccia. Pelliccia tastes samples of each batch of the raw coffee beans that will be roasted and then served at coffee shops worldwide for Costa Coffee. 

"In my profession my taste buds are crucial. My 18 years of experience enable me to distinguish between thousands of flavors. My taste buds also allow me to search out any defects," says Pelliccia. 

We recommend that Costa Coffee begin to train someone to take Pelliccia's position incase of any damages, injuries, or loses!
