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.

I guess 3:59 is correct assuming there are 400 coffee shops in all of Europe.
3:59 “These are in half the coffee shops in Europe.” According to the Times article, there are only 200 Clovers in use throughout the world. I believe there’s an idiot on the board…and it’s you.
Looks like the announcement of methadone clinic at the Novo caused a major price chop there.
4th Avenue is the taint of Gowanus.
I thought fourth avenue was in Gowanus Heights.

Are you Eliot Spitzer?
“only in America…”
You’re an idiot. These are in half the coffee shops in Europe.
We live in a borough of 2.4 million people…the 4th largest city on it’s own.
Why do people think that there are no people to serve the incredibly underserved borough, whether it be coffee, a new restaurant or new shop.
Bring it on! I’ll walk here if the coffee is good and I live up the hill closer to 7th.
It’s not that far a walk, unless you’re crippled.
only in America…
