    Interesting Herald Sun article

    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.

    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)

    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)  
    Nope, I think Epics rendition is how I hear it. A classic mondegreen!

    Youre being a bit too literal for a Friday afternoon Jon
    Yeh, I know, me heads starting to hurt, think Ill go and lie down for a while. :

    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.  
    I know exactly what you mean, its all history for me now, Im living the good life.

    but as Edith Piaf said
    Didnt she say "doh, reggo ree ah.  Doh, reggo ree reggo re ahh.  Callamazoo, calllamazi, zhu do dwi"

    Id 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.
    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!

    Mind you during my 35 years in business imparting knowledge and providing information was called customer service and was provided free of charge
    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.

    Fun! a juvenile term, you reach a stage in life where enjoyment and quality take over from fun,  
    and here we are again - bandying around terms like juvenile. Why does being old make you so freakin superior?

    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.
    No need to get personal young fella, Ive said my piece now its time to move on.
