The Clover coffee maker company has a Google Map to find locations where Clover-made coffee can be found. In New York, you can find them at Cafe Grumpy at 224 West 20th St.

The $11,000 Clover coffee maker brews one cup of coffee at a time using a method similar to a French Press, but with the ability to customize water volume and temperature per cup. The machine is programmable and has a network connection, so the machine can download brewing info. specific roasts. Check the video below for the Clover in action.

According to Wired Magazine, Howard Schultz, the founder of Starbucks described the coffee by saying, "In my 25 years at Starbucks, the Clover machine unquestionably delivers the best cup of brewed coffee I have ever tasted." Schultz tried his first cup after seeing a line formed outside of Cafe Grumpy in Chelsea. The company later bought out the Coffee Equipment Company, which makes the Clover, and will be testing them in Starbucks coffee shops.

The Clover seems to have an almost cult-like following. I haven't had one yet, but you can bet I'll be making the trip to Chelsea this week to have one.

Victor keeps pointing me to cool resources. Today he told me about Barista College. This makes me want to go out and get an espresso machine.
