This extraction method is also credited with creating a lasting crema, which can linger for upwards of 15 minutes.

The X1 for iperEspresso has a 15-bar pump for fast and efficient operation. It is equipped with a brass boiler for superior heat retention. Precise coffee and steam temperature controls let you create great tasting drinks and rich froth. Preparing custom espresso is easy, thanks to a programmable coffee volume option.

The FrancisFrancis! X1 for iperEspresso comes equipped with a steam wand to let you create lattes and cappuccinos. It has an automatic boiler refill function to ensure steady and continuous steam.

Water Reservoir and Cup Warmer


This single-serve espresso machine comes with a large 33.8-ounce removable water reservoir. Located on the top of the machine, the cup warmer has a stainless steel rail to allow you to safely store and heat up your cups.

Housing and Construction


The X1 for iperEspresso is available in your choice of an all-metal black, red or stainless steel exterior.

Sanfam ♦ Unfortunately, we don't have much helpful information for the Francis Francis product line. Most of these products are supported directly by Illy USA--If there are any alternative parts available, they would likely know what these are--I would advise visiting their website at http://illyusa.com for more details about how to contact them.

Hello - I am interested in the X1 Francis Francis machine.
But I am definitely interested to be able to use ground espresso not just the pods.
Do the new X1 machines allow for lose ground coffee??? It seems silly to me that this isn't plainly stated.. maybe Illy doesnt want us to know because they are pushing the pods?
Also I found out that the old X1 Trio was sort of the jack of all trades at about $999... is there anywhere to get the old Trio machine now?
Thanks.

Michael Rosso ♦ Michael...Thank you for your posting on our Super Wall. The Francis Francis machines only use the Iper Illy Capsules now. You will not be able to use pre-gound espresso or E.S.E pods in these machines. The Trio is no longer in production anymore. Thanks.
