The X1 is not only a functional espresso machine, it’s design is fun and trendy. Guaranteed to be a conversation piece in your kitchen. Comes as a complete kit with Illy ESE pods.
Ultra-chic, this deluxe gift kit includes the retro-futuristic Francis Francis! X1, Italian architect Luca Trazzi’s first and most famous espresso machine. Sold all over the world, the sturdy, easy-to-use X1 makes perfect espresso with Illy’s Easy Serving Espresso (E.S.E.) system.
In 1994 the Francis! Francis! X1 is introduced to the home espresso market and since that time it has become synonymous with products of exuberant and infectious “joie de vivre”. Not only are the designs fun and trendy, but the quality of the machine itself represents a commitment to providing the user the best equipment possible at a reasonable price.
The beautiful Francis!Francis! X1 espresso and cappuccino machine sets the tone as one of the most unique machines to ever grace your counter. Smooth curves, retro design, and a wide range of colors make it a veritable centerpiece for any kitchen decor. But the X1 isn’t just neat to look at; it also produces excellent espresso and cappuccino with ease. You will enjoy the fact that you can use either ground espresso coffee or single serving espresso pods as well.
The Francis!Francis! X1 has the stunning looks, and backs it up with a capable espresso brewer, with an excellent pump system and a large brass boiler. The X1 produces powerful dry steam, perfect for making lattes and cappuccinos with ease, and the froth-aider will help you achieve foam like the folks down at the corner coffee bar.
