The biggest cup of coffee in the world

Panama hopes for another entry into the Guiness Book of records with the creation of the world’s largest coffee cup, holding 16,500 6-oz cups.

  Thousands of Panamanians and visitors flocked to Parque Omar on April 1 to see the giant cup produced by Caf¨¦ Duran, Panama´s largest coffee making company. Seems to make sense. Largest company, largest cup.

  The giant dispenser needed a team of half a closen "stirrers" using oversize spoons to mix the 750 gallons of coffee more than 90, gallons more than the previous record.

  The coffee at the park was on sale for charity. Proceeds will go to help the Special Olympics.

  Over 8,000 cups were served.
