See how coffee is made in the Clover.

[chrismunkdale]

Just had my first one yesterday

WOW great coffee !!!!!

[maninthebox0]

...so it's basically a glorified French Press?

[dynaco]

OMG 40 grams of coffee???

A Nespresso capsule for long coffees contains 6g of coffee.

[snoopyflick]

OMG, a tall is only 12 onces of coffee. 40 grams twice needed to adequately taste the coffee, and probably 4 times the norm. They must be under extracting that coffee, or they wouldn't need to up dose THAT much. That is a massive amount of caffeine too around 500 mg.

[holytroz]

@snoopyflick it brews for like twenty seconds

[IBurnFat]

It's not what you do, or what you go through getting there. It's what you become when you arrive and are looking in the mirror."

There is a new coffee, if anyone is interested?

[Urbino237]

Looks like something unique, as is The Speedster. Wonder how they compare?

[chodaboy19]

I wish they had this machine in more locations. Even in DC we only have 1 store with this machine. :(

[glassesboy3]

@vutmat thats what she said

[vutmat]

wow thats long and hard

[TarotLadyLissa]

@vutmat That's what she said!

[marginwalkers]

it makes the smoothest cup of coffee i've ever tasted. but i got it from the roasterie in KC, not starbucks.

[Midnightryder7]

Pretty cool...now I'm going to get another cup of coffee from my kitchen called folgers

[Geoffio]

Yeah seriously, I was watching this thinking how amazing and delicious it looked, and then I was thinking of my $19 Mr coffee and how he didn't have a pistons or a HD screen. :P But he does make me some good coffee.

[luke26126]

@Midnightryder7 ew

[whitefloweret]

I want one. But it will never happen. So I should go get a cup of coffee at Starbucks. :)

[pcristiani]

if you want burnt coffee... yes!

[whitefloweret]

It didn't taste burnt to me. Sounds like you're a little bitter yourself.

[pcristiani]

No thanks. I just like quality coffee xD

[whitefloweret]

What's more quality than a machine that makes no mistakes? Possibly you think humans are perfect?

[pcristiani]

No, no. Not at all. The best cups of coffee I've had have come from Clovers. They're amazing machines that Starbucks did not build. They bought out.

I'm talking about the actual quality of the coffee. Starbucks buys good beans, but they get over-roasted. Why? No clue. It's a mystery.

[whitefloweret]

Oh well thank you for explaining. I was all assuming other things. Not nice of me. Well I do appreciate your thoughts.

[51jake51]

although i've only had starbucks once in my life, i agree. It takes some getting used to, and i found it really strong.

[BermudaGreenNox]

most likely not.. the Clovers use an industrial electric outlet and lots of electricity, so you may blow a fuse :)

[AestheticFlavor]

Wow, amazing!

[ineedaletter1]

that took forever. I really hope that this process could be faster. I know our customers could not wait 3 mins for a cup of brewed coffee.

[whitefloweret]

The fact that he's taking the time to explain each step slows it down.

[Berock10o2]

This is a great machine, but it takes too much time. Where I live and work, our customers don't have the patience for a machine like this. It is spiffy though. French Press is good too...

[JpattyB]

this is a very Cool machine...its fun to watch lol....i hope to see this in starbucks where i live,

[BradStephenson]

Love how it doesn't use filter paper!

[SilverStream89]

Any of our stores in the UK have this clover brewer yet? We waste so much brewed coffee using the Colombia Shuttle. I hate it.

[chappytk]

Pretty sure we're in line to get one of those, but with the discontinuation of the maintenance positions, I think all the dates got pushed back.

[AIV0N]

That is awesome. I would like a machine like that. but if what couchpotatoinc says is right, then that sucks lol. oh well would probably be shit expensive anyway.

[Noburice]

That COOL

I watched that machine last year, Starbucks 1,420 6th & Union 5th Ave Seattle. my country, Starbucks Japan should introduce that machine ASAP.

[Luisinthehouse]

This is very awesome^_^ Now i know how to make this coffee when i start working:-) Thx dude.

[bednarczyk]

AWESOME! Thanks for the vid. I've been looking up videos to see how it works but they were all bad. Finally a good video on how the clover works!

[CoreyRVA]

Wow, so time consuming.

[couchpotatoinc]

Let me give you a brief history:

The clover was developed for use in cafes by a company called the coffee equipment company. The idea is to brew an amazing cup of coffee. The clover brews different types of coffee with small variations in temperature and brew time. This allows all of the natural flavours of the coffee to really come out. Starbucks realized how valuable this machine is so they bought the company and all the patents to the machine, so no other cafe could offer this type of coffee.

[JoshSousa]

What purpose does this machine have in Starbucks stores? I am very impressed by it, but it seems like a hefty amount of work for a Batista to have to go through? Will all stores have one of these over time?

[RiotWyatt]

The purpose is that if someone wants a coffee that's not being offered as the daily brew or morning pick, they can have it, without us having to do a French press which takes 4 minutes plus the time to get it ready (and the customer gets charged for the entire press) or having to brew a half or quarter pot and wasting a bunch of coffee.

[ndtitanlady]

is this machine in every starbucks store, because all this time going into a cup of coffee is a impressive.
