From Friday, June 19 through Friday, July 24, Seattle Coffee Gear, a Coffee Kids supporter, will hold an auction for five Limited Edition Giro D’Italia Giotto semi-automatic espresso machines. One machine will be auctioned off per week with all proceeds benefiting Coffee Kids.

The machines, created by Milan-based Rocket Espresso, celebrate the Giro d’Italia, a 1,521 mile bike race through the Italian countryside. The Giro d’Italia along with the Tour de France and World Cycling Championship make up the Triple Crown of cycling.

Rocket Espresso has created just 100 of these machines based on their popular Giotto Premium+ machine. All feature a Maglia Rosa-inspired pink manometer, individually numbered badges and the names of all 92 winners of the Giro D'Italia machine-engraved on the side.

Seattle Coffee Gear has imported five of these limited edition machines for the auction. Visit Seattle Coffee Gear to place your bids and learn more about the machines.
