Coffee Equipment Company was a Seattle-based manufacturer of coffee equipment.
The company focused on producing equipment that creates high-quality brewed coffee.
[1] The company's first product was the Clover 1s, a machine that produces brewed coffee one cup at a time.
The machine uses a brewing method similar to that of a French press along with a vacuum system to separate the liquid from the coffee grounds.
[2] Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz purchased the company after trying a cup brewed by a Clover machine and declaring it to be "the best cup of brewed coffee I have ever tasted".
