YES! Laser brewing and diamond filters, that made me laugh. @HT: I don't know how much it costs per cup, but if it's a comparable price to other cafes it would be a fun place to go. @Kali: Thanks for subscribing! @Marsha: Maybe an art, but at what price?

It gives me a weird feeling to buy/drink coffee that is brewed from "chemical" glasses. Do you know how much they selling per cup?

Reminds me of tulipmania in the 17th c when Europeans would pay the equivalent of $44,000 for a handful of bulbs:http://www.dirtgardener.com/TipSheets/Bulbs/Tulipamiana.html Me, I'm waiting for a machine than brews coffee by lasers, with diamond filters, served in a hologram mug.
