Get Paid $5,000 to Drink Coffee in a Scottish Castle for a Week

If you’ve been in denial about your coffee addiction, it might be time to start fully embracing it. Swedish coffee company Gevalia Kaffe has just announced that it’s searching for a “Coffee Queen” (or King) to spend a week getting pampered in a Scottish castle and drink as many cups of Joe as humanly possible. The 32-acre Carlowrie Castle in Edinburgh has 12 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and comes with a personal butler, spa treatments, catering, and private barista lessons for you and a friend.

Tina Bletnitsky, senior associate brand manager for Gevilia, said, “Gevalia believes a Queen is anyone who transforms into the most confident version of themselves after that first cup of coffee — they speak their minds, are self-aware, and aren’t afraid to make fun of themselves.”

And if an entire week in a castle isn’t enticing enough for you, the Coffee Queen will also be given a $5,000 stipend check, presumably to spend on their next two years’ worth (or maybe two weeks) supply of coffee.

To apply, you’ll have to visit the official website and answer a few questions. Gevalia wants to know how many cups of coffee you drink a day, and most importantly why you consider yourself a Coffee Queen. Applications close on December 21. The winner will be announced on December 30.
