Coffland Corp: These Are the Coffee Guinness World Records You Probably Didn't Know about

When coffee turns into a competition, there are no boundaries.

Yes, coffee challenges you, to be the best you can be, to conquer your dreams. It’s motivating when you drink it in the morning and inspiring when you remember those moments in your life that are linked to a cup of coffee and a good conversation.

In that sense, many businesses in the coffee industry have used breaking or creating a Guinness World Record as a marketing strategy to gain a loyal clientele and international recognition. You probably don’t know that there are hundreds of records regarding coffee out there, but they get bigger and better by the second, especially in National Coffee Day!

Most of them are simple and certainly easy to accomplish at your home, like the world’s most prominent coffee cup tower; while other people choose to do something over the top or artistically stunning, involving artist and a whole community.

We have prepared a list of the Guinness World Record we though can surprise and inspire you, to do and break them for your business.

Two in one

For the most massive coffee mug and the biggest drink ever brewed, a gourmet restaurant spent over 8 hours brewing 2,010 gallons of ground coffee to fill a giant 8x8 foot mug. It happened in 2010 and broke the previous record for the largest cup of coffee set in 2007 of just 911 gallons.

Fastest cappuccino servers

In Hobart, Tasmania, a coffee shop won a Guinness World Record recognition after serving 289 cappuccinos, beating the previous record by 18 cappuccinos. Its owner said that it was possible thanks to the help of the community. Now the customers who visit the coffee shop can be sure their coffee will be made at lightning speed.

He is a record breaker

Saimir Strati is an artist known for creating and breaking his records with unique pieces of art using all kinds of objects like toothpicks and tacks. He raised the bar in 2012 with a new largest coffee bean mosaic, and set his 7th Guinness World Record! He recreated two birds using green and roasted beans.

A coffee-powered car

Yes, apparently there are coffee-powered cars. The most famous one was called Car-puccino. The car could travel just using coffee as combustible for about 209 miles in March 2010. It was a 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco. It could move one mile for every 56 espressos and can go as fast as 60 miles per hour.

The largest coffee cup pyramid

Five German friends build up, during eight hours, a 13 feet tall pyramid made out of coffee cups. It took 22,140 coffee cups to complete it. They explained that they just wanted to celebrate their love for coffee. Their names are Melanie Lütkefent, Vanessa Höft, Miriam Plümer, Arman Schlieker and Damian Krey.
