Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest Share on WhatsApp Share on Email A Scottish dairy farmer believes that splurging on flat whites could be a sound investment after all, as he launches the UK’s most expensive coffee. The £272 coffee drink consists of espresso and steamed milk from Mossgiel Farm in Mauchline, Ayrshire.
It will be available at 13 Scottish cafes this Saturday (23 November). Previously, the most expensive coffee in the UK was a £265 flat white at Shot London in Mayfair, made with Japanese Typica beans and served in an elaborate gold-plated V60. It’s all part of Mossgiel Farm owner Bryce Cunningham’s bold drive to raise funds for a state-of-the-art, zero-waste dairy facility, which will give them the backing needed to revolutionise the way we consume milk.
What’s so special about the coffee is that as well as the flat white, 34 shares in Mossgiel Farm will be thrown in too. Mossgiel’s milk is a go-to for specialty coffee shops across the country, and owners have rallied behind the crowdfunder, with 13 top coffee shops across Scotland backing the £272 flat white campaign. In Edinburgh, Williams & Johnson, The Lady and the Bear, The Dean, and Disposition Coffee are taking part.
Ayrshire is represented by Gilmartin’s.
