Francis Francis X1 Espresso Machine
The Francis Francis X1 espresso machine – a delightful addition to anyone’s kitchen.
What is it about the Francis Francis X1 espresso that initially attracts you? Is it the retro style of the machine? Or is it, perhaps, the huge variety of colours?
The instructions are simple.The reservoir holds quite a bit of water.
The block heats up fast, and the steam is dry, high pressure and hot enough to foam the milk quickly. The Francis Francis X1 espresso pump develops enough pressure to make a respectable crema every time, even when you use commercially available ground coffee, rather than the Illy pods this machine is designed to use.
Beautiful, stylish and retro-futuristic looking Espresso Coffee Machine from Italian designer Luca Trazzi. Luca’s first espresso coffee machine is widely admired not only for its looks but as a fantastic pump action espresso coffee maker.
It looks fantastic – a real attention grabber.

It has a ground-breaking two-phase extraction technology that creates an extraordinarily smooth, full-bodied and intensely aromatic coffee with long-lasting crema. This machine has a revolutionary new way to prepare true cafe-quality espresso at home.
Two-Phase Extraction
It’s the innovative patented coffee capsule conceived, developed and produced by illy which encloses a complete extraction group that replaces the traditional process of percolation with a two-phase extraction that the secret lies in. In the first phase, hyper-brewing, hot water under pressure creates optimal uniform conditions that enhance the extraction of coffee flavor and aroma and increase its richness and complexity. In the second phase, emulsification, coffee is forced through a special valve at the bottom of the capsule, mixing with air to produce a round, velvety, long-lasting crema.
