$11,000 AND YOU STILL HAVE TO CLEAN IT.

And--I want a robot to stir it for me.

I've had a cup from one of these machines, (not at starbucks), nothing to write home about. Personally I think the beans matter a hell of a lot more than brewing method.

I'm still trying to figure out what it offers that an Aero-press doesn't. And for $11000, I could buy 423 of them, or one Aero-press, 50000 filters, and 500+ pounds of different coffees to try.

the cup and the beans are from Ritual coffee -- one of the high end (read: pretentious) coffee shops here in San Francisco,

I've had Clover coffee a couple of times (not at Starbucks). The first time was about five years ago, mostly because it was new, cool and exciting. The second time was about a year later, mostly because it was there.

There hasn't been a third time. I don't know, I just don't get it I suppose. For me it's like the Audiophile nutbars who swear that their new $2000 power cord is the greatest invention in hi-fidelity and has finally given meaning to their lives. A good french press brew, pour-over or Moka pot cuppa is fine by me.

Not at Starbucks.
