N: Our daughter will now be named Clover

There is a fair bit of coffee in my life. A pound a week is just one of the benefits of working at starbucks. At this point, K and I are saving what we can to bring back with us to China. There are even a couple other employees at my store that have also donated to us. On our last trip in February, they donated over 20 lbs to give to other foreign workers in Yinchuan. I was like a coffee Santa Claus passing out small packages of joy.

Not too long ago on one of my days off, K and I drove down to Georgetown for one reason. To get a cup of coffee. Not just any cup of coffee though. After our trip I would tell, and have told friends, family, and perfect strangers that it was the best cup of coffee I had ever had. So without futher ado, I present to you…….the Clover.

I considered creating my own description and trying to describe it to you in some way that would do it justice, but then figured a video report would be best.



As for the shop we enjoyed our Clover coffee at, it no longer exists. We had the coffee on a Friday and at closer of business on Saturday, the place would no longer be unlocking its doors for business. The Clover machine, along with other fixtures and items in the store, were sold on Craigslist. The used Clover machine sold for about $11,000.

I was fortunate enough to get behind the counter and fiddle with the machine. The worker there was kind enough to even snap my picture.
