Some coffee enthusiasts savour the rich flavours of each sip, while others hastily gulp down their brew en route to work. However, none may surpass the speed of Felix von Meibom from Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany, who recently set a new record for the fastest time to drink a cup of coffee. Meibom achieved this feat in a mere 3.12 seconds, shaving off 0.05 seconds from the previous record holder. The remarkable accomplishment occurred on September 5, 2023.
Guinness World Records' official Instagram handle shared a video capturing the record-breaking moment. The video begins with a captivating visual of black coffee being poured into a coffee mug, not a tiny cup. In the footage, Felix von Meibom is seen looking straight at the coffee mug while a stopwatch runs on a phone placed on the table. Without hesitation, Felix chugs the entire cup of coffee in a single sip - in precisely 3.12 seconds. You can watch the full video below.
Many coffee lovers reacted to this record in the comments section, saying that they could also do the same. "I do this every morning," one jokingly wrote, while another added, "This is something I can do." A confident Instagram user said, "I can defeat him." Many people also tagged their friends, encouraging them to beat this record.
