Welcome to the future of espresso machines. Francis Francis! has created 2 models in the X1 series to satisfy the demands of today’s espresso lovers. The X1 for Ground is designed exclusively to brew using ground coffee, while the X1 Trio has been made specifically for use with ESE pods. If you love espresso but are always on-the-go, or if you just don’t want to deal with grinding, measuring, and tamping your beans, the FrancisFrancis! X1 Trio for pods offers an outstanding combination of convenience and style. FrancisFrancis! is known throughout the espresso world for their hip, retro designs created by Italian architect Luca Trazzi, and the bright colors and metallic accents on the X1 stay true to his vision. The best part of the X1 Trio is that it offers this styling with a new twist: a special brew group designed exclusively for brewing with Easy Serve Espresso (ESE) pods. By removing the variables of tamp pressure and grind fineness, you can brew consistently delicious shots, time after time.

If you look at the brew group of the X1 Trio, you’ll notice 3 cup symbols that represent the 3 sizes of drinks you can make. The largest cup is for an espresso lungo, a long shot that has a milder taste than a regular shot. The middle size is for your standard 2oz espresso shot, and the smallest cup is for a ristretto that has less liquid volume, but a stronger taste than a regular shot. Depending on what kind of drink you want to make, you just line up the portafilter handle when you lock it into the brew group with the symbol for size shot you want to pull. It’s a simple, fast, and easy way to get the most out of your espresso.

In addition to its user-friendly design, the X1 Trio for pods features durable and attractive steel housing, a powerful 18 bar pump, a removable 40oz water reservoir for plenty of espresso before you have to refill. A special attachment on the steam wand also makes it easy to create luscious frothed and steamed milk for cappuccinos, lattes, and any other coffee house-style drink you can imagine.

Features & Benefits: Coffee

Exclusive Pod Use

Brewing great espresso has never been easier. The brew head and portafilter on the X1 Trio for Pods is designed for exclusive use with Easy Serve Espresso (ESE) pods: pre-ground, pre-measured, and pre-tamped packets of espresso that can be placed in your portafilter and brewed normally. This saves time during your morning routine, or helps speed up the process of making drinks for your guests. And, the X1 Trio eliminates the need for pod adapters for the group head or portafilter, with specially designed components to create a perfect extraction for pods.

Simple Controls

The control panel on the X1 Trio is just as stylish as the rest of the machine. Three retro stainless steel switches control On/Off, brewing, and steaming functions. There are also 2 green indicator lights, the top light will illuminate when the machine is on and the bottom light will illuminate when the X1 has reached proper temperature for use. An easy-to-read temperature gauge located in the center of the control panel will also keep you updated with the exact temperature of the boiler. Plus, acoustic signals will also alert you when the machine has reached proper brewing or steaming temperature, so you can multi-task in your kitchen while the machine heats up.

Espresso Settings

For the best results from your ESE pods, the brew group has been specially designed for 3 different shot sizes. Line the portafilter handle up with the espresso lungo, regular espresso, or a ristretto. Once the portafilter is locked into place under your drink of choice, flip the brewing switch to start the flow of water, and then flip it back when your desired liquid volume has been reached.

Automatic Refill Boiler

The fast-acting brass boiler offers temperature stability for espresso brewing and steam production. The X1 Trio’s boiler also has a feature that is rare among single-boiler machines of its size: automatic refill. This feature ensures that as long as there is water in the reservoir, the boiler won’t run dry if the machine is left on for a long period of time. It will automatically refill itself with water from the reservoir, rather than only filling when the machine is being used to brew or steam.

Cup Warmer

It’s always best to brew your espresso into pre-heated cups. A passive cup warmer on the X1 Trio is heated by residual heat from the boiler and has room for up to 6 espresso cups. A stylish metal railing along the top of the machine helps to hold the cups in place.

Features & Benefits: Frothing and Hot Water

Hot Water Dispenser

For hot water for americanos, tea, or instant soups, simply flip on the brewing switch and turn the black steam knob while the X1 Trio is at brewing temperature. Hot water will be dispensed from the steam wand into your waiting cup.

Steam Wand

The steam wand on the X1 Trio makes it easy to froth or steam milk for cappuccinos, lattes, and more. A small hole on the side of the wand helps to pull in air, and then evenly distributes it throughout your frothing pitcher for excellent results. The wand also can be rotated in any direction, giving you plenty of room for your pitchers.

Features & Benefits: Care, Maintenance & Other

Water Reservoir

The 40oz water reservoir can hold enough water to make up to 24 espresso shots, ensuring you’ll have plenty of time between refills. It is also removable for easy refilling and cleaning.

Temperature Gauge

The X1 Trio has a large temperature gauge located right in the center of the control panel. It lets you monitor the temperature of your boiler, and has symbols for proper brewing and steaming temperature. A white mug symbolizes proper brewing temperature, and steaming temperature is symbolized by a little while cloud of steam.

Drip Grate and Drip Tray

There’s no need to worry about spills on the Francis Francis! X1 Trio. The drip tray and stainless steel drip grate below the dispensing spout are removable, so cleaning is always a snap.

Housing Construction

The X1 Trio is housed entirely in stylish and durable steel, and comes in a variety of colors. Metal accents on the control panel, cup warmer, and drip tray of the machine add to its retro style.
