ILLY FrancisFrancis! X-1 Trio Espresso Machine Review

ILLY FrancisFrancis! X-1 Trio Espresso Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

I tried many espresso machines with varying results but this one was the best as far as I am concerned.

Firstly, it uses ILLY ESE pods available as Dark, Medium and Decaf. I usually go for dark but keep a few boxed of medium for guests. The espresso is beatiful with a lovely crema every time - just impossible to make a bad espresso.
Very easy to keep clean as the grinds are in a filtered pod.
Secondly, it looks awesome without being overbearingly garish or over-designed.

So happy - I bought a second one just in case!

Francis Francis for Illy 216556 X1 iperEspresso Machine, Red Review

I've owned the Francis x1 Iperespresso for two weeks now. Here's my take:

PACKAGING- Impeccable, very well protected for shipping.

INSTRUCTIONS- In all major languages, the guide clearly walks you through every step in what is truly a simple set up process.

QUALITY- First rate, nearly industrial grade with but a couple minor exceptions not worth mentioning.

COOL FACTOR- I think it IS cool; you'll have to judge that for yourself.

OTHER OPTIONS: I've only had previous experience with Nespresso machines, of which I've owned several. But Nespresso does not offer the quality of coffee that I prefer. In my opinion, it's mostly for lungos and soft lattes. If you like high intensity coffee, as I do, the Nespresso alternative is probably not for you.

SUPPLIERS FOR THE COFFEE CAPSULES- There are many, including Amazon, which of course you can google for. In my case, Amazon does not ship illy coffee to my location in San Juan, PR, so I ordered it elsewhere. Five cans of Dark Roast capsules. The cans, which I read should be stored in a cool place or in the fridge after opening, are vacuum sealed and come with 21 capsules. After a very simple set up, I poured myself a terrific cup of macchiatto which I really enjoyed.

BUYING- Of course, I shopped around before ordering from Amazon. I couldn't find a better deal, and with free shipping to San Juan, what more could I have asked for.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE- After a couple of weeks, I'm thrilled with my X-1 Iperespresso. It is very easy to use and requires minimal maintenance, just refilling the water tank and occasionally emptying and cleaning the drip tray.
