Panama brews the world's biggest cup of coffee

Panama's top coffee producer said it believes it has set a new record for the world's biggest cup of coffee, after brewing 2840 litres in a giant mug.

Producer Cafe Duran used 136kg of arabica coffee to brew a cup measuring 2.75 metres by 1.6m over four hours.



The initiative aims to draw attention to Panama's small but growing gourmet, estate-grown coffee industry, organizers said.

"And the coffee's actually damn tasty," said Irma Castillo, a Panama City resident sipping the hot drink as it was given away after the record attempt.
