Those are some far fetched numbers, that's the price of premium/specialty coffee and the amount is easily a double shot, even triple by Italian standards.

Common commercial beans are ~$24/kg at retail prices, and while 14g would be a double shot around here, let's assume that's a "single shot" since standards seem to differ a lot. That puts us at a much more reasonable $0.39 per "shot" of coffee after accounting for 15% waste.

On a personal note, I would actively choose to pay $0.40 more for coffee if I knew that the money went back to the farmers who produce it.
