Yeah, waiting in a long line usually dulls the senses & the enthusiasm for any anticipated experience, be it a good cup of coffee, a fine meal, or whatever the occasion maybe.

Well that's the point of sharing articles like this. Go forth and replace the memories of crappy java with something a bit more positive. :cool:

I'll admit I almost posted the same thing but kept myself in check. Have had really amazing coffee here and the long line insanity is usually limited to the larger cities anyways.

Coffee really seems to be usurping tea in many ways. It's a very negative development and makes me fear for Japan's future.

Well, tea is just a more civilised drink.

Coffee makes your breath smell foul, stains your teeth something rotten, hardly has any beneficial properties (other than caffeine - but that's a plus or minus depending upon your need), and is well, lacking in the refinement and sublime taste of tea.

Uh-oh ... a "more civilized drink"? Only if you drink it with a raised pinky.

You need to do a little research on recent developments regarding the benefits of coffee. You might also want to ask your dentist about how tea stains teeth.

... "more civilized drink" ... sheesh ... like, get out of the colonies and see the world fer chrissake ...

I read a cases study on Starbucks and Japan was one of the countries whose coffee drinking culture they studied before taking their chain national and then international.

As for stains on your teeth, soy products stain teeth so if you've been eating lots of tofu and miso that could be the cause.

If so, this is very bad news as Miso is a seriously civilised soup.

Indeed, one of the greater regrets in my life is not discovering Miso soup at an earlier age.

So, here's a qusetion while you guys sword fight over coffee and tea (coffee will win, btw)...

What's your favorite "fast" coffee? Of all the chains, I think Dotour blows the fuck out of Starbucks & Starbucks II (Exelsior) and is cheaper. I've tried the other wannabe shops but it seems that they're all fighting to see who can win the bitterest coffee award... at least amongst the ice coffees.

The word of the day kids, "civilised". If you spell it with brit english, it makes you sound more civilised. More so, by consuming "civilised" food, it makes you a much more civilised person and you shall deserve to live in the 4 season shit hole aka Japland.

Be civilsed people... for fuck sake!

Have a Merry X-mas y'all!
