Clover Coffee suggestions?

Hi, I'm doing some research for my cousin, who really enjoyed coffee made in a Clover machine during his recent trip to SF.

If I recall, Groundworks in downtown Los Angeles has a Clover machine. Anywhere else?

All locations welcome, but bonus points for great coffee shops east of LA, in the San Gabriel Valley or even the Inland Empire.

  1. LA Mill has a Clover, no?

    1. re: jaykayen

      Several, including spares!

    2. This great little coffee shop near USC has one:
      Cafe Corsa
      2238 S Figueroa St
      Los Angeles, CA 90007
      (213) 746-2604

        Believe they were the first to have a Clover machine in Los Angeles.
        There's another Intelligentsia just opened in Venice

          Does the Venice branch have one? It's never been clear to me if Clovers are still available since Clover was assimilated by the coffee borg.

          1. re: Peripatetic

            the venice branch does have clovers as well

            1. re: Peripatetic

              was just there... I saw at least two Clovers

          2. Groundworks gave back their clover machine because they wanted nothing to do with Starbucks. That was last year. Perhaps things have changed?

            1. re: Ogawak

              LA MILL has spare machines and someone that can fix em cause they can't deal with CharBux!

            2. The chi-chi atmosphere of LA Mill is not my personal cup of tea but I did have a fantastic cup of Ethiopian from their Clover (sorry can't recall the specific varietal or farm - it was a year ago). I've had coffee from Clovers on a number of other occasions in different places (including some pulled at the Roaster's Guild Retreat by a guru from the Clover division of ... ahem... the parent company). The cup I had at LA Mill was by far my best Clover cup ever.
