A dairy farmer has created the UK's most expensive coffee, charging a whopping £272 per drink. The flat white, launched at Mossgiel Farm in Mauchline, Ayrshire, consists of espresso and steamed milk and will be available at 13 Scottish cafes this Saturday, November 23.Mossgiel Farm owner Bryce Cunningham's high-priced drink has overtaken the previous dearest situated in Mayfair, London, which cost £265 for a flat white made from Japanese Typica beans and served in an elaborate gold-plated V60.The costly coffee is part of Bryce'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.

Alongside the flat white, 34 shares in Mossgiel Farm will be thrown in too.Bryce, who returned to his family farm in 2016 after the loss of both his father and grandfather, has spent years transforming Mossgiel into a leader in sustainable agriculture, said: “Sometimes it takes a little shock factor to make people think differently.

This coffee costs nearly 80 times the price of an average flat white in the UK – but it’s much more than just a lovely drink. "You’re investing in a sustainable future for farming and joining a movement that’s changing the dairy industry.

We know it sounds crazy, but when you break it down, it’s a pretty good deal. How much is the future of farming worth?“Young people are often criticised for spending too much on flat whites – but on the most part they are driven by purpose and a desire to make a difference.
