In an effort to rule over everything coffee-starbucks has bought the company that makes the "clover"machine-whis is like an automated press pot and makes one cup at a time.These machines cost $11,000 each

I have experienced the clover at Intelligentsia--folks it is not all that wonderful.The coffee is not in contact with the water-which is not hot enough-long enough to fully extract the flavor.

I would much rater be served an individual press pot.

Here is an article about this
