We are thrilled that today kicks off our series of five auctions of Giro D'Italia Giottos to benefit the non-profit organization Coffee Kids! This is such an awesome machine -- we're still waiting for them to arrive (they needed to engrave the name of 2009 winner Denis Menchov) and we can't wait to get our grubby little paws on them. These machines take all of the excellent performance and functionality of the Giotto Premium Plus and accent it with several specialized touches that make this limited edition stand apart -- and since we're the only US importer bringing these machines in stateside, these unique collector's items are incredibly rare as well. But while your friends will be coveting the gorgeous stainless steel design or perhaps the Maglia Rosa-inspired pink manometer, the bragging rights will really be about all the money you donated to Coffee Kids, giving you a direct hand in helping to support tons of community projects for coffee growing families throughout Central America.
