SM here, they did a video promo for this a few weeks back in the weekly meeting and I gotta say this thing looks badass! It does everything you could think of! Even travelers! Made me wonder how much this machines gotta cost 🤔

As someone who has one in there store already, it is AMAZING!! The sounds are weird (makes whirring noises as it gets the coffee) but honestly so worth it!

this would save so much time for openers omg

We JUST got the new mastrenas

Yeah, but how dependable is it going to be? We had one at a store I helped open a few years back, and it felt like the cylinder froze half way down every other week.

This would be so much more helpful than yelling out WE NEED PIKE every 5 minutes during peak

i’m gonna lose me job

Sooo what do these do?

I don’t even have the new Mastrenas 😅
If this lives up to hype in this thread, then CS is about to become much easier at busy stores. Or maybe it’ll finally be possible to follow playcaller and put CS on handoff during peak. We’ll see.

Hopefully it's faster than the piece of shit coffee machines we have now

I remember 3 years or so ago we had a Clover X in our store. Wonderful machine, great in theory, horrible in practice. The thing broke down so much even though we did everything right in regards to maintenance. Let’s hope it’s better now!

i tested these at my store ex barista and they were hard to clean at first but then you get used to it, love these!

My store said we’re getting this in 2025 🥲

Ummm yes please. No more shuffling blonde and dark during peak

Does it make espresso I really want a Mastrena in my house…Any higher up rich Starbucks people male, single and paid enough to own a Mastrena 2 in their house? 🤙🏼 Call me, maybe? 😂

I’m actually kind of hyped for the vertica. No more fucking pour overs.

any idea if these will come to the Target Starbucks'?

Can't wait till my store gets those in like 4 years

I used to love the clover. It always impressed me when I could make a perfect cake. The pride!!

this literally looks like the most amazing beautiful phenomenal show stopping creation ive ever seen. the sheer amount of time, effort and stress this would save us, especially high volume stores….. ive used a machine w the same concept at gas stations before and wished we had one for work lol and this looks much fancier so!! i’m so excited

Oh, are they finally launching these? They had some in test stores in Seattle since like...2016. The first few gens broke CONSTANTLY. It's a neat concept but all I remember is calling them in like weekly.

It was called the Clover X at that time, wonder what they're calling it now

This is going to be great. It was in I think a weekly update ages ago(maybe even 2020), that they'll going to be making this switch. We'll be able to have blonde, dark, pike, and decaf all day. Initially my store was supposed to get them early this year. I think we've been bumped back to end of year, early next year.


Some Sheetz gas stations have them out and as a customer you can use them. Seemed to work well.

I did an interview with someone who was asking about our Expresso machines awhile back, he gave me $150 for telling them about what designs I like in an expresso machine and he showed me something similar to this! I wonder if that had anything to do with this machine that's making an appearance in some stores
