Clover >< Starbucks

After numberous articles about Starbucks and Clover, this one is probably the most spectacular one and sited on the Clover Equipment website, which could be resulting in entering a Starbucks for a fine cup of Joe :

We are proud to announce that the Starbucks Coffee Company has entered into an agreement to acquire The Coffee Equipment Company. This merger will take our passion for coffee, hardware and innovation to the biggest possible stage. The Clover revolution couldn't have happened without all of our friends—the roasters, the baristas, the cafés, and the growers. The revolution lives on.

We are incredibly grateful to our early adopters for taking a chance on our machine. Through these partnerships, we've been able to elevate the profile of brewed coffee around the world.		We will continue to proudly support all of the deployed Clovers with parts and service.		Starbucks is uniquely positioned to change the way the world thinks about brewed coffee with its coffee heritage and tremendous passion for the industry. Working together profound change is possible.
