From the inbox (and Berderp), more thoughts on today's Starbucks Clover launch: "I stopped by the Fidi flagship store (also the primo Clover location for SF) at Cal & Pine @ 7am today. There were some Seattle brass lurking. I really wanted to get a picture or 2 of the Clover in action ... DENIED ... no pix. I was given a # for media relations up in Seattle ... The coffee? pretty good for what it is ... I got the mid-range/medium Guatemalan Antigua grande, and I think they undercharged me since the Clover menu on the point-of-sale system seemed to be obscured from normal view. Anyways not sure I'll go back for more Clover-fied coffee." [EaterWire, Clover Map]
