So there can be only one winner, of course, but for all of you who fell in love with this superfly, sophisticated, travel-friendly, and totally gorgeous non-electric espresso maker, you can still get one! Pony up at www.importika.com ”seriously, the $199 retail price seems like a more-than-fair price for such a cool piece of equipment.

Onward: who will be the big winner!!? More than 230 (Wowza!!!)  of you played Humpday Giveaway this week for a chance to win the ROK. We told you guys to list your country along with your answer to the trivia question, and that was because this prize will only ship to a U.S. address. But we have your back, yo ”international readers were invited to play, too, for the chance to win a one-year subscription to Barista Magazine. That’s a $60 value!

For those of you outside of the U.S. who played Humpday Giveaway this week, you had a chance to win a one-year subscription to Barista Magazine. That's a $60 value!

So we have not one but TWO drawings this morning.

The trivia question was:

QUESTION: In the year-in-review interview with 2012 World Barista Champion Raul Rodas in the August + September 2013 issue, Raul says he’s been working with an organization in Guatemala that helps children with cancer and their families. What is the name of that organization?
(It’s a totally great organization, folks ”we encourage you to check it out HERE.)
For the drawing for the ROK, we tallied the names of all the U.S. residents who got the answer right, typed up each name, cut each one out, put them all in a bag…
We had so many entries that we had to draw from a bag this time.
