Giant cup of cappuccino sets new world record

BARISTAS can hardly espresso their joy, after making the world’s biggest-ever cappuccino in a 2,000 litre (440 gallon) mug.More than 1,000 trained baristas worked around the clock using 22 coffee machines for the record bid in Zagreb, Croatia.A group of helpers filled the giant mug cup by cup to create the record-breaking Italian coffee drink with the traditional brew made from one part espresso, one part warm milk and one part foam.A delighted Julius Meinl, whose shop in Zagreb, Croatia, has been in business for 150 years, said the huge cappuccino was made ‘exactly how it should be.’ ‘In total there are about one thousand baristas here. A thousand people, really, who do this job every day, who make cappuccinos every single day, and they are certainly good at this,’ he said.                               –Metro
