It is with great regret I must announce the death of our Francis Francis X1 espresso machine
The X1 was designed by Italian architect Luca Trazzi's and is his first and most famous espresso machine.
Commissioned in early 2002, the machine properly caffeinated our household and guests each morning, afternoon and evening since, and has faithfully produced demitasse after demitasse without hesitation. Although it’s beauty remains, the 17 Bars of pressure are gone..
The Francis-Francis is succeed by an emergency stovetop Bialetti Moka (a life saver) and a Saeco Incanto Rondo ( S-classe).
