There is a scene in the movie Elf where Will Ferrell, as Buddy the Elf, barges into a diner in Times Square after observing a window sign to congratulate the occupants on serving the “World’s Best Cup of Coffee.” We assume that the sign’s message is an exaggeration.

Read on coffee lovers because you are in for a treat.
