If you have any money left over from Christmas (or, if you got any money for Christmas), you may want to look at this: https://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/rocket-espresso-r58-il-centesimo-giro-d-italia-edition?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIodq939mq2AIVRCWBCh0Mjgtf EAEYAyAAEgKrafD_BwE

Cheap at $5,800, right?

I like Seattle Coffee Gear, I've purchased from them and their reviews (at least in the past) were goofy but good. That said, cool but out of my budget for an espresso machine.

Not sure why the markup was so much, guessing it's due to the rarity.

If you had purchased one directly from Rocket way back when it was first announced, you would've saved like $1,300..

I've got the jersey. That was expensive enough.

I'll stick with my french press. Maybe I can even dig up a Giro sticker for it. :p

However, if I had a smallish coffee shop and could write it off, then I totally would go for it except for the fact that the cool stuff is on the sides so that I'd have to place it so that peeps could see that.

I'd go 8 for a Slayer before 5.8 on R58. Crazy.

But, good wheels....I mean a good grinder is almost more important

I was just in Italy and saw some sweet machines, but, the 220 thing was the obstacle.
