Clover coffee brewers (SEA)

[MaggieSue]

Does anyone know which two or three Starbucks stores in Seattle have a Clover coffee brewer? Do any other Seattle coffee shops have them? The only info I could find on them were for independent coffee shops in Portland. (Plese don't reply if you are going to bash Starbucks. I'm not a loyal customer, but am not looking to start a negative thread about the company, either.)

This article http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/busines... shows a picture of a Clover at "the Queen Anne neighborhood Starbucks". They also mention that Zoka is continuing to use Clovers.

Trabant, in the U District. I'm not sure if their Pioneer Square location has one.

we were walking around "downtown" magnolia the other day, and saw an indie coffee shop that had it - there was a big "Clover" here sign in front.

I think Stumptown's also have them (Capitol Hill, among others), but am not positive.

Stumptown has been quite vocal that they will not use Clover anymore because they don't want to have Starbucks as a supplier. They might not have gotten rid of their Clovers yet, but they probably will soon.

I didn't see a clover in Stumptown this weekend. Heck, for that matter, I don't remember seeing one in there before this weekend either.

The new coffee shop in Ballard, down the street from Java Bean... Aster, I think? They have a Clover too, or did when they opened.

And Trabant isn't getting rid of their Clover, at least acc'd to the barista in the U-dist...

Cafe Vita on Capitol Hill had a Clover last time I was there - about a month ago.

Sbux was also testing them at their 6th & Union store downtown...assuming it's still there.

The 6th and Union Starbucks as well as the Madison Park Starbucks has a Clover

The Starbucks at 4th & Columbia has one. I've been reading about the Stumptown mishegoss in Portland, so while I was in Seattle last week, I opted to try a "promotional" cup from the Clover to taste what the hype is all about. While waiting for my cup to brew, I enjoyed watching the little hockey puck of coffee grounds rise up from the brewhole in the center of the machine. It was a decent, smooth cup of coffee. I can't say I was wowed. Maybe if the coffee had been made with Stumptown's beans...

The Hwy 99 & 220th Starbucks in Edmonds has a Clover.
