An Emirati coffee shop in Dubai recently set a new world record for the most expensive cup of coffee ever served, a whopping 2,500 dirhams ($680).

Roasters, a posh coffee shop with four branches across Dubai and 11 branches across the UAE, is the new Guinness World Record holder for ‘the most expensive cup of coffee’. On September 13, at the company’s flagship location on Boulevard Downtown Dubai, the Roasters staff hand-poured a lucky patron a dose of coffee brewed using the V60 method into a bespoke, handcrafted Edo Kiriko crystal glass from Japan, known for its beautiful patterns. The brew was made with extremely rare Panamanian Geisha beans from the world-renowned Hacienda La Esmeralda farm in Panama, and served alongside a piece of tiramisu and a chocolate ice cream infused with the same Geisha beans.
