mjackson ♦ Peter,
There are some differences. The X7 has more metal, a better steam wand as well as a brass boiler. The less expensive 7.1 has a thermal block boiler and is not as heavy or as heavy duty as its more expensive counter part. I hope this helps.
Can this machine be used with regular ground coffee (not capsules)?

mjackson ♦ People have been happy with the Francis Machine and they are a sister company of Illy. So it is hard to imagine of a better suited machine as it really is Illy doing all the design. I think you will be happy.
