Francis Francis 201030 X1 Trio Espresso machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had wanted this machine for about 3 years. I finally decided to get one in Stainless. It is absolutely gorgeous! It is such a fine ascetically pleasing design. I love the toggle switches. Fit and finish are wonderful.
I had it for about a year. Unfortunately it was only good at making espresso with pods. It was an awful steamer and I drink mostly milk based drinks.
I ended up with the Rancilio Silvia. It is a night and day difference. The Silvia a "real" machine. Better tasting espresso, much, much better steamer ending in a tremendous product.
If you want a beautiful piece of equipment siting on your counter and are not too into coffee, one a week or so, I'd recommend getting this. Otherwise look else where for a good grinder and a good machine. I'd recommend the Silvia as the best you'll find under $800.

Trio technology turns the beautiful design of this FrancisFrancis! machine into a valuable tool for making excellent espresso. The appliance uses E.S.E. single-serving coffee pods, and its Trio extraction group provides versatility and easy selection of the desired espresso--long, normal, or strong--with an intuitive rotation of the filter holder. The same coffee pod can therefore be used to obtain three different results. A completely electronic control system guarantees cup quality, and its 18-bar pump ensures enough pressure for the perfect extraction. The unit also features a 5-cup removable water tank, a brass boiler, a chrome-plated brass brewing head, and dual electronic thermostats that maintain ideal temperatures for coffee or steam dispensing. Other highlights include a removable dishwasher-safe spout, a steam jet with a built-in milk foamer, a steam knob, a removable drip tray, and a cup warmer. Easily identifiable symbols, lights, and sounds make the unit exceptionally user friendly. Housed in durable steel and available in a variety of colors, the 1100-watt espresso machine measures 10-1/4 by 9-5/6 by 13 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
