Also a few manufacturers have done the same, after we posted some criticisms of their machines. One I will mention - La Marzocco - ended interaction and involvement with CoffeeGeek after I did the First Look on the La Marzocco Linea Mini. They didn't like that I criticised the paddle group for being just a facsimile of LM's paddle group, instead of a real one.
That said, many manufacturers, and some vendors feel us doing unbiased reviews is a good thing, even if their products rank poorly.
