Product Review
The friendly attitude of the FrancisFrancis! espresso machines is not just a cosmetic matter. Designed and assembled in Italy, the line’s welcoming qualities extend to the brewing process too, so making espresso in your home is pleasurable, simple, and non-intimidating. One of the company’s slimmest models, the FrancisFrancis! X3 machine is built to work with you whether you’re an espresso novice or a skilled barista. Trim, sleek, and fun to look at, it features a brass boiler and a pump-driven brewing system with 8-9 bars of dynamic pressure. The chrome-plated brass brewing handle maintains ideal temperatures for coffee, while the steam/hot water wand swivels for tidy storage. Brewing can be done with your favorite loose grounds or the eminently simple ESE (Easy Serving Espresso) coffee pods, a pre-measured amount in a teabag-like container. The X3 comes with two brewing handles--one for loose grounds, one for pods--and three baskets to let you choose from ristretto, regular, or lungo shots. A tamper is also included. A good choice for small kitchens, the X3 measures 10-5/8 by 6-1/4 by 11-3/4 inches, so it has a smaller footprint than many models. The water tank is accessed from behind, and controls are on the side. The top of the machine has a handsome mirror finish, adding a pleasing gleam to accent the playfully bright body. Warranted for one year after purchase, the X3 comes with detailed and illustrated instructions for pulling the perfect shot. --Emily Bedard
Product Description
The third "baby" of Italian designer Luca Trazzi, the X-3 semi-automatic espresso machine was created for those who appreciate state of the art design in both appearance and function, yet who may have space and budget constraints that are incompatible with the X-1 model. This machine has a sexy presence, a small footprint, and is functionally easy to operate. Like its older, larger sibling it is an 18 bar pressure pump system which will crank out cup after cup, each with perfect crema, as quickly as you can reload the filter holder with an ESE pod, or ground coffee if you prefer. An easy to operate steaming nozzle dispenses hot water for tea, or steams milk for lattes and cappuccinos. Be advised that it will not make espresso and steam at the same time. As with other semi-automatic espresso machines the boiler has a heating system designed not to overheat and operation of this machine is quite easy. The 3 baskets allow you to choose from ristretto, regular, or lungo shots.
