If you've ever been skeptical when someone claims to be able to tell the difference between cheap coffee and "premium" coffee, here's undeniable proof that they're probably lying. In an effort to see if people really could tell the difference between Starbucks' new $7 Clover-brewed Costa Rica Finca Palmilera Reserve coffee and the regular stuff, renowned prankster Jimmy Kimmel sent one of his staffers to the streets of Hollywood to conduct taste tests with random individuals. 

Except, probably because $7 is ridiculous for a cup of coffee, they just filled both cups with regular coffee and asked people if they could tell the difference. Somehow, they could. Power of the mind, guys!
