Additional Information

What the critics are saying: The “Rolls Royce” of filter handle espresso machines (test magazine Plus, 12/1998). “The Giotto makes the best espresso of any homemachine I have tested and most of the commercial ones too. And it looks like morphing chromium, oozing over your bar.” (Mr. David Schomer, On The Table 22, Jan. 2000.) Winner of the high end espresso machines test (11 machines, top gourmet magazine, Der Feinschmecker, March 2000 issue). The one that curled this espresso drinker’s toes was the Giotto…with its lever delivery (no buttons, no digital stuff) and a heat diffuser on the group head to prevent the coffee burning. If the Giotto were a car, it would be a’50’s racing Ferrari. (Sydney Morning Herald, 08/2001)
