Dubai’s luxury coffee culture has reached new heights as Roasters Specialty Coffee House, a local brand known for its high-end brews, set a world record by serving the most expensive cup of coffee, priced at 2,500 dirhams—approximately $680.
This exclusive creation goes far beyond the idea of a morning caffeine fix; it represents a full sensory experience designed for true connoisseurs. The coffee was made using Panamanian Geisha beans from the renowned Esmeralda farm, one of the most celebrated producers of rare, high-quality coffee beans in the world. These beans are valued for their complex floral aroma, smooth acidity, and unique flavor notes, making them among the most sought-after and expensive varieties globally.
The brewing process was meticulously crafted to ensure perfection. The barista employed a temperature-controlled kettle, precision dripper, and freshly ground beans to maintain the purity and balance of flavors. Every step of the preparation was carried out by hand, emphasizing craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Presentation played an equally important role in the overall experience. The luxurious cup of coffee was served on a designer table imported from Japan, enhancing its exclusivity and transforming a simple beverage into a curated art form. This thoughtful combination of quality, craftsmanship, and presentation elevated the experience beyond taste—making it a symbol of refinement and indulgence.
The record-setting creation underscores Dubai’s growing reputation as a global hub for culinary innovation and luxury experiences. It reflects a shift in modern consumer behavior, where people are increasingly investing in premium lifestyle experiences rather than just products.
In a city known for pushing boundaries in design, hospitality, and luxury, this record reinforces Dubai’s status as a destination where everyday indulgences can be transformed into extraordinary moments.
For coffee enthusiasts and collectors, Roasters Specialty Coffee House has not just created a beverage—it has crafted an experience that captures the very essence of exclusivity and craftsmanship.
