Chasing a Guinness Record


A Costa Rican town called Naranjo will seek to achieve a Guinness world record this July 30 by making a cup of coffee that is 8,000 liters. They are doing this to promote internationally the coffee of that area.

The goal to break Guinness’ World record is the idea of ​​the Youth Ministry of Naranjo. Until now, the world’s largest coffee cup contained 7608 liters, 392 less than the Naranjo's goal. The coffee holding the current world record was prepared in the U.S. in October 2010.

The coffee cup combines 8,000 liters of boiling water with 400 kilos of coffee. It is unclear how they will prepare a cup of coffee almost three meters high. "We want to promote that we produce one of the best coffees from Costa Rica", said Marco Vinicio Ruiz, the sponsor of the initiative.
