Clover Coffee Searches

March 5th, 2008

Clover Coffee MachineIn the CMS that I use for stlbites I can see what people were inputing into search engines before they chose to right click their way on in.

Surprisingly, one of the most searched terms is “clover coffee machine” and as such one of my most viewed posts is the one I previously made about the Clover coffee machine.

In light of that I thought I’d go ahead and post about this article in Slate regarding the Clover that Daniel Dick sent me earlier today.

It’s worth reading if you were further interested in why someone would pony up $11,000 for a coffee machine as it sort of details the reasons why someone would want to be so scientific about their brewing and how slight variations in say brew temperature can dramatically change the resulting cups flavor.

Also, don’t forget, Kaldi’s Downtown Clayton location is the only place in St. Louis that has a Clover if you were wanting to check one out yourself. When I was in last week they still had some of their COE Nicaraguan coffee to brew in it, and if you like coffee, you should really have a cup before it’s all gone…in any other city it would be!

Oh, and apparently one of the owners of Clover looks vaguely like Frank Zappa. I was perplexed by a pic of him in an old Corvette on their website for several minutes as I had to ask those around me if it was, in fact, Frank Zappa.

Then I refreshed the website and he no longer looked so Zappa-esque.

Damn.

  2. I’ve been to Kaldi’s a few time to try the Clover. I’ve had all of the coffees - I like the Kenya AA the best. I totally dig the fruity taste.

  4. The Roasterie in KC still has COE coffee. We should all be embarassed as KC and STL natives for not being hip enough to have drank all the good coffee, like in every other city.

  5. Did the Roasterie maybe buy a lot more?

    Kaldi’s only had two bags of the one they bought. It seems like the
    Roasterie does a steady shipping business, but I don’t really know
    that for a fact.
