A pedestrian passes a large cup of coffee on display in central Sydney November 14, 2007.

The cup, billed as Australia's largest at 1.7 metres tall (5.6 ft), was the centrepiece of the opening of a new coffee shop in the city's central business district (CBD).

The world's largest coffee cup recognized by the Guiness Book of Records stands at 2.75 metres tall.

An Australian has beaten the Germans at their own boozy game, smashing the world record for carrying stein glasses full of beer.

Bavarian-born restaurant manager Reinhard Wurtz, who recently became an Australian citizen, broke the record for carrying one-litre steins of beer, when he carried 20 for 40 metres last night.

With each beer-filled stein weighing at least 2.5 kilograms, Mr Wurtz carried 50 kilograms of beer and glass in the record-breaking effort.
