Re: Paul Bassett In Japan

The main reason Im asking everyone is:

Without doubting the baristas, that he has employed, skills. Do you think an espresso from there is worth 600 yen? Thats around $7 AUD.

I would think that maybe a cap would be worth that much, maybe not an espresso.

What does everyone think?

Havent been to Japan to be able to make the comparison with other stuff. How much does other stuff cost? How good is the coffee?

Japan is very expensive to live in! But they enjoy a better quality of life than us Aussies. Just look at all them old people lol.

Re: Paul Bassett In Japan

I dont know about that.
I think their longevity is more related to diet than quality of life.

Per a report by the Queensland government in 2006 "Compared with other OECD countries, life expectancy in Australia is very high. It is ranked fourth after Japan, Switzerland and Iceland with a difference of 1.8 years between Australia and Japan." (http://www.health.qld.gov.au/cho_report/documents/32048cover.pdf). Doesnt seem like theres much difference there for the quality of life, just the price of it!

If youre not Japanese and still offended, lighten up. :

Re: Paul Bassett In Japan

I hadnt realised that everything was this expensive in Japan. I had only seen Bassetts site and seen the listed prices there. I guess the price makes sense compared to the coke price.

Has anyone every had a coffee made by Bassett? or any other Barista Champs? more or less just interested. I guess there is no real point behind this post....just interested.

Im lucky enough to have a coffee from Hazel de los Reyes about once a fortnight when I go to buy my coffee.

Shes always a pleasure to talk to and anything she makes me is superb.

In order to be healthy in Japan you have to eat a lot of fish.
