From the link at #21:

Tasting Clover Coffee

So what if Clover makes the perfect cup of coffee? Isn't it all about getting as caffeinated as possible? Well, when you consider that coffee beans have more than 800 flavor characteristics, compared to red wine's 400 flavor characteristics, then you might start to reconsider what's in your cup [source: Gourmet Coffee Zone]. Clover's ability to bring out this flavor could make coffee into a gourmet industry, similar to wine.

Around $4/can. Couple of tablespoons of this in an espresso maker ... equal parts coffee and hot milk, sweeten to taste - best cafe' con leche EVER. Omit hot milk for cafe' cubano. Who needs Starsux?

I think it’s so expensive because they have to pick the beans out of Geisha poop.

That’s a Duncan Dönitz cup, isn’t it? (A chain of shops named after a famous Canadian Admiral.)

Not sure — it may be the reverse side of the can ‘cause I know there’s English on the can I have. (Sorry about that — stole the image from the ‘net.)
