Steal this coffee!

This story is not a fabrication. One of my greatest coffee experiences was at a Starbucks location.
I had just finished watching a Mariners game in Seattle where the M's had their asses licked.
After the game my aunt bought me a cup of joe at a seemingly standard starbucks location, however, she did not buy me a typical drip coffee, she bought me something special.
Apparently Starbucks now sells coffee made with their CLOVER BREWING SYSTEM (I assume they have a patent on that) which makes coffee taste like a French Press varietal on steroids, not typically found at Starbucks.
The barista told me the Clover brewing machine costs about $10K to manufacture and operates with a precisely calibrated piston that presses the coffee grounds upwards and thus makes your caffeine experience amazing!
Downside: if you don't have access to a Starbucks with a Clover brewing system, there are only 10 machines in the USA, you are out of luck.
If one ever comes to your neighborhood I would spend the extra money at least once, because that cup of coffee is the best coffee Starbucks has ever produced.
