...perfect cup of coffee. Seriously. And NO, its not Starbucks. Well, not for now.Clover Coffee. Its not a roaster, its not a coffee shop, its a machine. An $11,000 machine that makes drip coffee. Sort of drip coffee. It looks like something from the USS Enterprise, there are pistons and hydraulics, its digital, and it makes one cup of coffee at a time. Seriously, find a shop anywhere within 30 minutes of you that has a Clover, go there, drink coffee. Repeat.
BUT DO IT SOON. Starbucks, in their infinite wisdom, budget, faux non-corporateness, and overroasted beans, bought Clover. Supposedly they are going to roll out Clover machines in their stores, but they dont have to. They most likely will pull a corporate-asshole move and just keep the beautiful things off the shelf so that people wont be able to enjoy a $2 cup of coffee that is (way) better than theirs. Even if they do, they will use the sour and bitter overroasted Starbucks beans in it and the coffee wont be as good as a local roasters'.
Thanks to The Red Trolley in the Highlands in Denver for giving Craig and me a cup...and a cup of homemade icecream...for free. Hooray freegans! Seriously, they have Wynkoop Rootbeer on tap and they have a 4:00 to 6:00 Happy Hour with $2 Rootbeer Floats. Go and enjoy.
