StreetLevel: 4th Avenue In Clover
Here’s some wildly thrilling news for coffee dorks: The $11,000 machine that Slate posits could “broaden the way we think about coffee” is coming to 4th Avenue. 3B, the soon-to-open cafe on Carroll and 4th (nee “Brooklyn Bean”), will have a Clover coffee maker.

Here’s some wildly thrilling news for coffee dorks: The $11,000 machine that Slate posits could “broaden the way we think about coffee” is coming to 4th Avenue. 3B, the soon-to-open cafe on Carroll and 4th (nee “Brooklyn Bean”), will have a Clover coffee maker. The luxe machine makes cups one at a time and is a rare lil’ caffeinated bird. A story in the Times a couple months ago said there are only about 200 of them in shops across the world, though their cult status is quickly becoming more mainstream (there are a few already in NYC). 3B’s espresso machine is no slouch, either, and its owners say they spent months selecting the beans they’re going to use. The business, which’ll also serve some light food, should be up and running in about a week and a half.

wyckoff gardens. that’s kinda’ like versailles, right?
According to another poster, the projects are not a part of any neighborhood. They are their own entity.
As you can imagine, said poster is also missing a few chromosomes.
Wyckoff Gardens? Isn’t that prime Boerum Hill?
maybe those in the wyckoff gardens will spend their weekly paycheck on coffee???
Bingo, 5:10.
Have you seen the river of people heading to the Union St. station in the mornings? I’d expect that to be the main target.

It’s on the wrong side of 4th Avenue. Most people heading to the 4th Ave/Union St. subway station are coming from the Park (Park Slope) side of 4th Avenue. They are not going to cross 4th avenue to get their coffee and cross back to get on the subway towards the city.
Wow 4:40!
11K a week! clearly you must also have a 10 inch cock and a unicorn that you ride to work…
P.S.: Tell your supermodel girlfriend (“she’s from Niagara Falls — you wouldn’t know her”) we said hi.
When I lived in Park Slope, in my pre-PLG days [1970–74] old timers [the ones who called the street bordering the park “9th Avenue] referred to 4th Ave as “lower PS.” There was a north & south Slope AND an upper and lower Slope [i.e. up and down the slope running down hill from the park]. I never heard anyone speak of “Gowanis” as a neighborhood.
11K is my salary for a week.
Where can we get one for in-home use?
