But at long last, I finally got to sample one of the few Clover brewer machines in the Bay Area while visiting. Word has it that the Clover brewer was probably the most talked about subject at last week’s SCAA conference. Given how long it’s been since non-espresso, brewed coffee got some serious love and attention, and given the resulting cup the Clover produces, I’d say the buzz is warranted. [...] [...] You’ve read the review on Ritual Coffee Roasters’ new Bayview location. But at long last, I finally got to sample one of the few Clover brewer machines in the Bay Area while visiting.

Last year we witnessed “coffee for bloggers” (no, I am not making this up). This year, we apparently have “blogging” coffee makers — thanks to the otherwise credible Clover brewer: PRESS RELEASE The First “Blogging” Coffeemaker: The Coffee Equipment Company Launches CloverNet(TM).

This is akin to NASA saying that the Mars Explorer is busy blogging from the surface of the Red Planet. [...] [...] Apparently, one of the reigning media fads is still blogging.
