Guiseppi.
Do you work for Pavoni? I ask because I've noted, along with the owners of other coffee related sites that you've been posting about Pavoni, and specifically this machine, on several websites, and talked of nothing else.
I need an answer today please. And I will ask you to refrain from posting about this product in your future posts on CoffeeGeek. Shilling and stealth marketing of a product on our website is strictly forbidden.

Okay. 24 hours later...
Guiseppe, I have to believe you're associated with this product, since this is the only type of posting you've made on CG and on other forums. As such, I've banned your account, but also left the postings intact, as I do think it's important to let people know about this new pavoni product.
If you and your employers would like to legitimately advertise the Pavoni Stratawatever on CoffeeGeek, I encourage you to sign up as an advertising partner, or submit a machine to the website for potential review.
If you would like to discuss further offline, including getting your ban lifted, please email me.
