I have a machine that makes my coffee... I call it... a coffee maker.

OK, I keep imagining you exulting in the joys of your new Clover machine, and exuberantly tossing your old coffeemaker out the window.

I suspect I'm going to get this image with most of your posts. :-)

Haha, that rules.

This is a machine I'd never personally buy, nor is it marketed towards me, because I'm certain they're just way too expensive. It's more of a specialized commercial (hype?) machine.

Yeah, they have the Clover at the Starbucks down the street. I've tried it a couple of times, and really, really like it -- it's very smooth. But I somehow always manage to choose a bean they're out of and then have to go with my second choice (this is my personal curse, though. Always happens when ordering food, too).

So far I've paid for most of them with the gift card they gave me for testing the thing a while back, and I'm not sure I'll keep buying them after the money runs out.

I don't get it... it is still just a drip-filter thing?

Just get an espresso machine and be done with it...
