I wonder if they would mind if I asked them to pour the coffee into this

Looks sleek, but wow - $20K for basically a bunch of vacuum brewers? I guess the demigods baristas operating it will have another reason for the extra-somber expression on their faces. It's art, y'know!

Oh, yay. I can get my BB beans any day of the week now. I just hope my eyes roll back into their forward position soon, Mr. Egami's quote nearly caused permanent optical damage.

Will buying a cup of this coffee for my date get me laid?

If you just want equipment you’re not ready Aren't we high and mighty about what, at the end of the day, is just another cup o' joe? (I'll try it anyway.)

Ah, zen coffee. Did not the Elightened One spend 30 years sitting in a Starbucks, mooching the Wifi, without drinking a single drop?

the flan sounds great, too. i'm all for more flans and pasty, more heavily cooked vegetables.

Very much want. Considering it's in Mint Plaza, though, I'm guessing a cup will cost 4 even.
