Re: Coffee lovers forking out $12 a cup for trendy brews
Well, salvatore certainly has a good PR person, but...
Jon W, you could drop the patronising tone
just because youre trying to wind hazchem up for fun....sorry, enjoyment, doesnt make it right.
it could be argued youve given up pursuit of quality and are merely a forum warrior
having said that, its not worth $12 if youve decided not to get $12 of appreciation out of it. sounds like you arent, while Im sure hazchem would. Toshi from St.Ali/Sensory Lab is well-regarded/world-renowned for his siphon/syphon skills, and unless your grasp of japanese exceeds Googles, you might learn something.
...essentially this goes back to the commodity argument./\/, which was a whole separate flame war.

Re: Coffee lovers forking out $12 a cup for trendy brews
Went there today, and all i can say is... I WAS IN HEAVEN. Staff were really friendly and helpfull, the atmosphere was great and the coffee, weeell...it was awesome. Had the Costa Rican Geisha in the syphon ($12) was it worth the$$$ perhaps not, but it wont stop me from paying that much again. As a snob i think i am obliged to try the top end at whtever cost.
I also tried a double espresso from the Mypressie Twist. F@#king amazing! What the hell is this thing!? If you only drink espresso then this is the way to go for budget home espresso ($300approx)

Re: Coffee lovers forking out $12 a cup for trendy brews
I went there today and they were busy as all hell so the publicity didnt hurt.
They were a bit overwhelmed though, I had my coffee at the register and waited 5mins to pay as the Barista didnt know how to use the
reigster.
Lots of people were lining up to try the syphon experience.
I hope it goes well, and the more people who learn about what goes into making a GREAT coffee the better. A more discerning general public is good for the industry as a whole.
Anyway, I had a very nice double ristretto kenyan + el salvador blend made on the Slayer. $3

Almost Epic, the title of the song was (Non je ne regrette rien) loose translation (No regrets) Ha, ;D just clicked on the link, now I know what you were on about, had not seen that ad before, great stuff, shame its for Nescafe.Originally posted by 4F7A63693D3C0A0 link=1259797443/25#25 date=1259897417Didnt she say "doh, reggo ree ah.Doh, reggo ree reggo re ahh.Callamazoo, calllamazi, zhu do dwi"
I know exactly what you mean, its all history for me now, Im living the good life.Originally posted by 4F7A63693D3C0A0 link=1259797443/25#25 date=1259897417Then you would know that although not always discretely charged for, it always has a cost.Costs that arent recovered through direct charging are recovered by higher goods/services prices.

Ok, and back to the cricket.
Couldnt agree more. On the proviso that the staff member truly was knowledgeable and not an apathetic member of the McDonalds generation. If Salvatores crew are manning the bar, that shouldnt be the case!Originally posted by 75545F5F5842310 link=1259797443/3#3 date=1259801694Id be happy to pay the asking price to get to sample some different brews, take in the theatre of the process, and have a chat to someone who is passionate and knowledgeable about what they are serving. Might not do it every day, but once in a while, $12 for this is really a bargain.
Then you would know that although not always discretely charged for, it always has a cost. Costs that arent recovered through direct charging are recovered by higher goods/services prices.Originally posted by 68545D4550310 link=1259797443/7#7 date=1259806085Mind you during my 35 years in business imparting knowledge and providing information was called customer service and was provided free of charge

No need to get personal young fella, Ive said my piece now its time to move on.Originally posted by 6A6378616A676F020 link=1259797443/20#20 date=1259881566and here we are again - bandying around terms like juvenile. Why does being old make you so freakin superior?Originally posted by 0D31382035540 link=1259797443/18#18 date=1259879460Fun! a juvenile term, you reach a stage in life where enjoyment and quality take over from fun,
Why is fun "juvenlie"? Sounds to me like youre having a lot of "fun" in the current phase of your life, but are perhaps a little too old, curmudgeonly, and dare i say narrow minded to admit it.
