It’s like you’ve found a 4-leaf clover and bingo all in one cup. This expensive, technologically smart machine makes a different, richer brew than you might expect. It’s not an inexpensive purchase for a small coffee shop, but it is what may distinguish them when coffees and espressos are lined up on the bar. Actually watching a barista in action at a clover machine is a fine art of delicate processing. The coffee gets ground, the unit gets a clean sweep, and all the magic starts to pour at the cup.
Trust me.

Here’s how it works.

Although Starbucks purchased the company last year, I have yet to see one in action at any of the locations I frequent. Maybe with their smaller footprint, new cafe experience, they will become a more common occurrence.

If you want to select a fine clover drink, try El Beit in Brooklyn. The whole place defines coffee. If you prefer a non-Clover selection, don’t worry, there are plenty of options including some great sweets to go along with the pour. They value the importance of the bean, the water, and the machine: All work together to make a morning outing worthwhile.

Grab a paper; relax. This place spells coffee comfort.
