So this is the world’s most Instagrammed cup of coffee…

We need one immediately.

Coffee is big business, and one way to promote your café as a business owner is through social media.

One Johannesburg-born coffee consultant has come up with the most-hashtagged coffee trend of all time on Instagram and it’s pretty unique.

CNN report that Dayne Levinrad’s coffee served in a chocolate-lined ice-cream cone has been trending in a big way on the photo-sharing site, so much so that images with the hashtag #coffeeinacone have amassed almost one MILLION times since the specialty drink was launched in January.

Levinrad came up with the genius idea of combining ice-cream, chocolate and coffee into one individual dessert.

He had to go through several versions of the cone to ensure that the liquid wouldn’t drip through.

He has the whole thing under patent, and drinkers have ten minutes to drink the creation before it becomes a bit of a mess.

Double tap if you wanna go ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Looking for something new? Want to be part of the cool kids? ? Look no further.. The Grind Coffee Company has brought something new to the table, Coffee in a cone!! Yes, coffee in a CONE! You can have either a macchiato, a hot chocolate or an espresso, this is a caffeine heaven for all you coffee lovers out there. Not forgetting all the sweet tooths-the cone inside is fully coated in chocolate as well as a chocolate shot kind of thing at the end of the full bodied coffee. Finish the coffee and enjoy eating the crunchy cone..delish is an understatement!!?☕️ #coffee #coffeeinacone #thegrindsa #melrose #melrosearch #wherecanifindthebest #ilovepretoria #thepretoriaexplorer #tfl #lfl #instafood #foodporn #food #caffeine #happy #me #zomato #zomatosa
