Clover 1s Commercial Coffee Maker for $11,000

This is the Clover 1s, a commercial coffee maker that costs an eyebrow-raising expensive $11,000. This gadget brews regular coffee (not espresso) one cup at a time and is made by a small Seattle company to order, no mass production going on here.

Paul Adams from Slate managed to get his hands on the Clover 1s, but then found out it needed a “fist-sized 30-amp commercial electric outlet” so he could not use it, but he did manage to visit a Manhattan cafe that owns two of the machines with a company representative.

So what does $11,000 worth of Clover coffee maker get you, Paul aimed to find out and he tells his full story here…. lets just say in short “its precision isn’t necessarily better coffee, but more attention to coffee as an art”.
