5 Giro D'Italia Giottos Auctioned to Benefit Coffee Kids

You know we're big fans of Rocket Espresso and think that the Giotto Premium+ and Cellini Premium+ are some of the best home espresso machines on the market. When Rocket contacted us about a limited edition model of the Giotto that they designed in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Giro D'Italia cycling race, we thought we'd make buying this collector's item a little bit more special. And what better way to do that then to auction them off and donate all the proceeds to the non-profit organization Coffee Kids? We love their mission and we love Rocket, so for us they go hand in hand. Beginning on 6/19/09 and continuing through 7/24/09, we'll be auctioning off one Giro D'Italia Giotto each week, 5 of the 100 total espresso machines available in this limited edition run. If you or someone you love digs cycling, owning this little piece of history will give you something to brag about -- not only because these machines are so unique, but you'll be giving to a really great cause, too!
