Clover Coffee at Dancing Goats

A couple of weekends ago we stopped in at Dancing Goats Coffee Bar in Decatur.  We have known about the Clover coffee machine for a while and wanted to try it.  And Dancing Goats has the $11,000 machine.  Wired magazine did an article on the Clover coffee machine and that's how we came to know about it.  Here's the link to the article.  With all the publicity and knowing about it for some time, we had to try it.

It was great coffee.  The price wasn't much more than a regular cup of coffee either.  The first thing I notice is that there was a whoile ritual to it.  The whole beans are measured precisely and then ground.  The grinds go into the machine and again a ritual of making a plus sign, "+", to agitate the grounds as the water pours in.  Then the machine does its thing.  Every bean has a specific setting to it to enhance the flavor.  As it comes out  it wasn't as piping hot as a regular cup of coffee.  The flavor was full, tasty.  Grant it that we chose the Ethiopian Blueberry Coffee so that was a lot of the great taste also.

So if you have a chance, go and try it.  Taste it for yourself; try coffee made from an $11K coffee machine.
