World's largest coffee cup comes back for a refill

Hanoi (VNA) - The largest coffee cup in the world, made by Bien Hoa
Vinacoffee, will be on display at the second Buon Ma Thuot Coffee Festival
from December 10-14 at the Biet Dien Museum in the Central Highlands'
city of Buon Ma Thuot .

In showing the world its largest cup of coffee, Vinacoffee wants to send a
message about the quality and position of Vietnamese coffee, said Nguyen
Thanh Tung, the marketing manager of Bien Hoa Vinacoffee.

While details of this latest cup are not available, Vinacoffee confirmed
that this second appearance will be as impressive as the first, where the
largest cup was introduced last December in HCM City 's Tao Dan
Cultural Park .

Vietnam currently holds the world record for the largest cup of coffee,
with 3,613 litres of coffee served to more than 30,000 people at the same
time. The cup is made of more than 6 tonnes of stainless steel, surpassing
by far the last record by Duran Coffee from Panama in April 2007. The
previous record belonged to the US in 1994.

With the record recognised by Guinness, the world's largest coffee cup has
travelled to many different cultural festivals in the country such as Da Lat
Flower Festival and Hung King Festival since the beginning of the
year.-Enditem
