When I was in Portland last month I saw the book, God in a Cup, by Michaele Weissman on the shelf at Powell's... after deciding that I could exercise my will power and not buy it... I ended up getting it to send to Levi.
It lead to $100 dollar half pound of the Panama Hacienda La Esmeralda gourmet “geisha” coffee being ordered... which is covered extensively in the book.
There are lots of different views about this unprecedented coffee, but regardless of whether you think coffee is ready for that kind of price or not... it is a little marker in the history of the coffee industry. Levi now has a piece of that, and if you get the chance you should ask him about it.
