    Comments about FrancisFrancis Espresso Maker X1 - Red:

    Loved it... Until it broke the second time.
    1st one lasted less than a year, electrical problem, was replaced without question by vendor. Next one lasted about 2 years until the boiler leaked & shorted the unit. Was about $100 less to fix than to buy the new Pavoni one (excellent machine!) with which I replaced it.
