Hi guys.
Long term reader, first time poster. I'm usually hanging out on a local (Australian) coffee forum.
Reason for posting is to find out about the new La Pavoni Giotto. In Aus we only have Rocket Giotto and they are really over-priced. I'm hoping the La Pavoni will be a good alternative.
I have seen pictures but no reviews and they're not available in Aus yet.
They are all over Europe. Are these available in the US? Also, I'm keen to know thoughts.
On paper they look V good.
Thanks
Pete



Looks amazing ! :)

No response.
I guess this means they're not in the US yet.....

I found this Giotto pic. Shows the whole lot of Giottos. The dual boiler excites me as I've always dreamt about a dual boiler with the Giotto shape.

Whack feels pretty fraudulent

That's why I didn't post there. The sponsors are always smashing in on threads.
I found a guy stocking these. He said Rocket have already taken la Pavoni to court twice in Italy and lost both times. I'm keen on the La Pavoni Giotto dual boiler. If Rocket had one I might get that but they don't. Stupid decision to ditch the Gotto shape for the but ugly R58

And yes, saw some BS on that other site about Giotto being invented by rocket in 2011.Just stupid. The original was in the 80s or 90s by ECM.

Not sure about US, but there is a place north of Toronto selling them at similar pricing to the Rocket machines. So they have made it to this side of the pond.
